The treatment follows a logical progression from elementary to advanced theories, with careful attention to detail and mathematical development, and is sufficiently rigorous for introductory or intermediate graduate courses.Beginning with a study of the statistical mechanics of ideal gases and other systems of non-interacting particles, the text develops the theory in detail and applies it to the study of chemical equilibrium and the calculation of the thermodyDover Books on ChemistryStatistical mechanicsPhysicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCAtomic PhysicsHILCCStatistical mechanics.PhysicsPhysical Sciences & MathematicsAtomic Physics530.13Davidson Norman589AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911006611503321Statistical mechanics344734UNINA
