A Course of Theoretical Physics

Volume 2 of this course of theoretical physics deals with statistical laws, the basic structure remains essentially the same. The author has selected those topics he felt to be of general interest. The book includes, for instance, sections on fluctuations, Gibbs statistics, detonation waves, ferromagnetism, and the theory of semiconductors. Statistical laws can be read by a student who has had courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics. Numerous exercises combine with the masterly coverage of the subject to make statistical laws an essential text for university and college students.
