Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics by Frederick Reif Hardcover, 651 Pages, Published 2008 ISBN-10: 1-57766-612-7 / 1577666127 ISBN-13: 978-1-57766-612-7 / 9781577666127 All macroscopic systems consist ultimately of atoms obeying the laws of quantum mechanics. That premise forms the basis for this comprehensive text, intended for a first upper-level course in statistical and thermal physics. Reif emphasizes that the combination of microscopic concepts with some stat |
