Beschreibung
This completely revised edition of the classical book on Statistical Mechanics covers the basic concepts of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics. In addition to a deductive approach to equilibrium statistics and thermodynamics based on a single hypothesis this book treats the most important elements of non-equilibrium phenomena. Intermediate calculations are presented in complete detail. Problems at the end of each chapter help students to consolidate their understanding of the material. Beyond the fundamentals, this text demonstrates the breadth of the field and its great variety of applications. Modern areas such as renormalization group theory, percolation, stochastic equations of motion and their applications to critical dynamics, kinetic theories, as well as fundamental considerations of irreversibility, are discussed. A basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is presumed.

Über den Autor
Dietmar Petrascheck studied physics at the University of Vienna where he also received his doctorate. In 1987 he completed his habilitation at the University of Linz and has been an associate professor since 1997.
Franz Schwabl (deceased) was full professor of theoretical physics at the Technical University of Munich and retired in 2003. He conducted research in the field of magnetic materials and investigated structure formation in driven, dissipative nonequilibrium systems. He is the author of the very well-known textbooks on Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics.
