Statistical Mechanics, Third Edition
This third edition includes new sections on Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate Fermi behavior of ultracold atomic gases, and two new chapters on computer simulation methods and the thermodynamics of the early universe. We have also added new sections on chemical and phase equilibrium, and expanded our discussions of correlations and scattering, quantized fields, finite-size effects, and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We hope this new edition will continue to provide new generations of students with a solid training in the methods of statistical physics.Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gasesThermodynamics of the early universe -Computer simulations: Monte Carlo and molecular dynamicsCorrelation functions and scatteringFluctuation-dissipation theorem and the dynamical structure factorChemical equilibriumExact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model for finite systemsDegenerate atomic Fermi gasesExact solutions of one-dimensional  fluid modelsInteractions in ultracold Bose and Fermi gasesBrownian motion of anisotropic particles and harmonic oscillatorsAbout this EditionThis third edition includes new sections on Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate Fermi behavior of ultracold atomic gases, and two new chapters on computer simulation methods and the thermodynamics of the early universe.
