| Description: | The purpose of writing this book is to explain basic concepts of equilibrium statis- tical mechanics to the first year graduate students in engineering departments. Why should an engineer care about statistical mechanics? Historically, statistical mechanics evolved out of the desire to explain thermo- dynamics from fundamental laws of physics governing behavior of atoms and molecules. If a microscopic interpretation of the laws of thermodynamics were the only outcome of this branch of science, statistical mechanics would not appeal to those of us who simply wish to use thermodynamics to perform practical calcula- tions. After all, validity of thermodynamics has long been established. |
