{"product_id":"statistical-mechanics-isbn-9781891389153","title":"Statistical Mechanics","description":"Statistical Mechanics is a renowned and accessible introduction to the subject, containing a large number of chapter-ending problems for students.\u003cbr\u003eNow 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.1. Introduction and Review\u003cbr\u003e2.
