Kip S. Thorne & Roger D. Blandford 
Statistical Physics [PDF ebook] 
Volume 1 of Modern Classical Physics

Supporto

A groundbreaking textbook on twenty-first-century statistical physics and its applications
Kip Thorne and Roger Blandford’s monumental Modern Classical Physics is now available in five stand-alone volumes that make ideal textbooks for individual graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on statistical physics; optics; elasticity and fluid dynamics; plasma physics; and relativity and cosmology. Each volume teaches the fundamental concepts, emphasizes modern, real-world applications, and gives students a physical and intuitive understanding of the subject.
Statistical Physics is an essential introduction that is different from others on the subject because of its unique approach, which is coordinate-independent and geometric; embraces and elucidates the close quantum-classical connection and the relativistic and Newtonian domains; and demonstrates the power of statistical techniques—particularly statistical mechanics—by presenting applications not only to the usual kinds of things, such as gases, liquids, solids, and magnetic materials, but also to a much wider range of phenomena, including black holes, the universe, information and communication, and signal processing amid noise.


  • Includes many exercise problems

  • Features color figures, suggestions for further reading, extensive cross-references, and a detailed index

  • Optional “Track 2” sections make this an ideal book for a one-quarter, half-semester, or full-semester course

  • An online illustration package is available to professors


The five volumes, which are available individually as paperbacks and ebooks, are Statistical Physics; Optics; Elasticity and Fluid Dynamics; Plasma Physics; and Relativity and Cosmology.
