1. Statistical description of systems -- 2. Evaluation of the number of microstates in the microcanonical formalism -- 3. Classical statistical mechanics -- 4. The microcanonical ensemble : distribution functions for ideal gases : the density matrix -- 5. The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution -- 6. The Bose-Einstein distribution. Applications to some simple systems -- 7. The Fermi-Dirac distribution : some ideal Fermi systems -- 8. The Canonical ensemble : some applications -- 9. The grand canonical ensemble -- 10. Applications.
This text has been written keeping in mind the student who encounters statistical mechanics for the first time. Starting with a statistical view of the physical world, the basic concepts of macrostates and microstates of a system are discussed with much care using many examples to illustrate abstract ideas.
