pbThis new edition combines a comprehensive coverage of statistical and thermal physics with enhanced computational tools, accessibility, and active learning activities to meet the needs of today's students and educatorsb pThe revised and expanded edition of iStatistical and Thermal Physicsi introduces students to the essential ideas and techniques used in many areas of contemporary physics. Ready-to-run programs help make the many abstract concepts concrete. The text requires only a background in introductory mechanics and some basic ideas of quantum theory, discussing material typically found in undergraduate texts as well as topics such as fluids, critical phenomena, and computational techniques, which serve as a natural bridge to graduate study.brpulliCompletely revised to be more accessible to studentsliliEncourages active reading with guided problems tied to the textliliUpdated open source programs available in Java, Python, and JavaScriptliliIntegrates Monte Carlo and molecular
