SynopsisStatistical Mechanics is a renowned and accessible introduction to the subject, containing a large number of chapter-ending problems for students., Now available from University Science Books at a much lower price, this classic textbook has never been rivaled. It is ideal for a senior or first-year graduate level courses. Statistical Mechanics is the extended version of McQuarrie's 1984 text -- Statistical Thermodynamics -- now out of print. Although our printing of this book carries a 2000 copyright date, this is not a new edition. It is the original first edition, without any changes to the text (except preface). Despite its age, it is still a renowned and accessible introduction to the subject, containing a large number of chapter-ending problems for students., Statistical Mechanics is the extended version of McQuarrie's earlier text - Statistical Thermodynamics (USB 1984). This text (previously published by Longman Education) is an accessible introduction to the subject. It contains a large number of problems at the end of each chapter to help students understand the material and to introduce them to selected extensions., Statistical Mechanics is the extended version of McQuarrie's earlier text - Statistical Thermodynamics [USB 1984].
