This book, together with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire Bachelor's program.
Highlights:
Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and are clearly illustrated in figures. The required mathematics is derived within a physical context and transparently explained.
Contents:
Statistical Ensembles Identical Particles Concept of the Statistical Ensemble Statistical Definition of Entropy Statistical Ensembles in Equilibrium
Independent Identical Particles Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Small Deviations from Equilibrium The Ideal Fermi Gas The Ideal Bose Gas Real Gases Magnetic and Electric Properties of Matter Kinetic Theories
Target Audience:
This book is particularly suitable for Bachelor s students in their final year.
Prerequisites:
Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge in calculus, linear algebra, and complex analysis.
The Author:
Wolfgang Cassing is a retired Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. His expertise lies in the phase-space dynamics of classical and quantum many-body systems, which he incorporated into his textbook "Transport Theories for Strongly-Interacting Systems". His current textbook series Theoretical Physics Compact also includes Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Quantum Mechanics.
