Modern Evolution of Statistical Thermodynamics

This book provides a detailed overview of the statistical principles used to obtain the physical and thermodynamic properties of macroscopic systems.

Going further than many advanced textbooks, it includes Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac statistics, and lattice dynamics as well as applications in polaron theory, electronic gas in a magnetic field, thermodynamics of dielectrics, and magnetic materials in a magnetic field.

The text also examines statistical thermodynamics using functional integration and Feynman path integrals.

In addition, it features physical results and worked problems.
