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 thermody 410 0$aDover Books on Chemistry 606 $aStatistical mechanics 606 $aPhysics$2HILCC 606 $aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics$2HILCC 606 $aAtomic Physics$2HILCC 615 0$aStatistical mechanics. 615 7$aPhysics 615 7$aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics 615 7$aAtomic Physics 676 $a530.13 700 $aDavidson$b Norman$0589 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006611503321 996 $aStatistical mechanics$9344734 997 $aUNINA
