Produktbeschreibung
The volumes of Classical Theoretical Physics are based on the highly successful courses given at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, by Walter Greiner. Intended for beginning graduate students, the volumes in the series provide not only a complete survey of an area of theoretical physics but also an enormous number of worked examples and problems to show students clearly how to apply the abstract principles to realistic problems. Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics covers: basic definitions of thermodynamics, equilibrium, state variables; the first and second laws; phase transitions and chemical reactions; thermodynamic potentials; statistics of microscopic states and connection to the entropy; the microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical ensembles; applications of Boltzmann statistics; quantum statistics and the density operator; ideal quantum systems; the ideal Bose gas and applications; the ideal Fermi gas and applications to condensed-matter physics.
