Description for Thermodynamics and Introductory Statistical Mechan Ics
Hardcover. An introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. This book guides the reader through each of the two disciplines. It provides an understanding of the area and presents and discusses the connection between the two. Num Pages: 210 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PN; TG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 240 x 159 x 20. Weight in Grams: 514.
In this clear and concise introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics the reader, who will have some previous exposure to thermodynamics, will be guided through each of the two disciplines separately initially to provide an in-depth understanding of the area and thereafter the connection between the two is presented and discussed.
In addition, mathematical techniques are introduced at appropriate times, highlighting such use as: exact and inexact differentials, partial derivatives, Caratheodory's theorem, Legendre transformation, and combinatory analysis.
* Emphasis is placed equally on fundamentals and applications
* Several problems are included
