Topics and exercises come from the author's course lectures and have been made accessible to undergraduates. Included are lectures on the first and second laws ofthermodynamics; key ideas of probability and statistical mechanics; and the connection between the entropy and the number of quantum states. The reader is led through progressively more complex problems with full mathematical details explained."--Publisher description. | ||
