文档介绍：Statistical Physics
Advanced Texts in Physics
This program of advanced texts covers a broad spectrum of topics that are of
current and emerging interest in physics. Each book provides prehensive and
yet accessible introduction to a field at the forefront of modern research. As
such, these texts are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the
. and . levels; however, research scientists seeking an introduction to
particular areas of physics will also benefit from the titles in this collection.
