Features: This book differs significantly from most similar textbooks in that it derives the equilibrium statistical theory starting from a famous Boltzmann relation. While rigorously deriving the theory, it also emphasizes practical applications. Focusing on equilibrium statistical mechanics, it equally pays attention to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The book provides insightful examples and exercises, and includes an index of foreign names and a Chinese-English name comparison, making it a distinctive textbook.
