Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics / Richard Fitzpatrick. - Singapore : World Scientific Publishing, c2020 - xii, 346p. : ill. ; 23cm.
includes bibliographies and index
Introduction -- Probability Theory -- Statistical Mechanics --Heat and work -- Statistical Thermodynamics -- Classical thermodynamics -- Multiphase systems -- Applications of statistical thermodynamics -- Chemical equilibria -- Quantum Statistics --
"This book provides a comprehensive exposition of the theory of equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics at a level suitable for well-prepared undergraduate students. The fundamental message of the book is that all results in equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics follow from a single unprovable axiom - namely, the principle of equal a priori probabilities - combined with elementary probability theory, elementary classical mechanics, and elementary quantum mechanics"--
