After a historical introduction, this book presents chapters about thermodynamics, ensemble theory, simple gases theory, Ideal Bose and Fermi systems, statistical mechanics of interacting systems, phase transitions, and computer simulations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition includes new topics such as BoseEinstein condensation and degenerate Fermi gas behavior in ultracold atomic gases and chemical equilibrium. It also explains the correlation functions and scattering; fluctuationdissipation theorem and the dynamical structure factor; phase equilibrium and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation; and exact solutions of one-dimensional fluid models and two-dimensional Ising model on a finite lattice. New topics can be found in the appendices, including finite-size scaling behavior of Bose-Einstein condensates, a summary of thermodynamic assemblies and associated statistical ensembles, and pseudorandom number generators. Other chapters are dedicated to two new topics, the thermodynamics of the early universe and the Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is invaluable to students and practitioners interested in statistical mechanics and physics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermodynamics of the early universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer simulations: Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrelation functions and scattering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluctuation-dissipation theorem and the dynamical structure factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical equilibrium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model for finite systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDegenerate atomic Fermi gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact solutions of one-dimensional fluid models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractions in ultracold Bose and Fermi gases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrownian motion of anisotropic particles and harmonic oscillators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071294423280,"sku":"9780123821898","price":93.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780123821898_p0.jpg?v=1763638747","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780123821898","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
