這是一本研究生水平的統(tǒng)計力學經典教材。是以作者多年來在幾所大學為研究生授課的講義為藍本而寫成的�！督y(tǒng)計力學(第3版)》初版于1972年，其內容涵蓋了統(tǒng)計力學的標準內容，敘述清晰詳細，深受讀者歡迎。第2版對第1版的內容作了補充和刪改，重寫了關于相變理論的部分，增加了臨界現(xiàn)象的重正化群理論的內容�！督y(tǒng)計力學(第3版)》是第3版，增加了一些有關波色—愛因斯坦凝聚態(tài)和超冷原子氣體的退化費米行為章節(jié)和講述計算模擬方法和早期宇宙熱動力學的兩章；也增加了化學和相變平衡，擴充講述了其與散布、量子場、有限尺寸效應和漲落耗散定理的相互關系。希望這個新的版本一如既往地為新一代的學習統(tǒng)計物理的學生提供堅實的基礎。每章末增加了注釋并附有習題。
讀者對象:物理學專業(yè)的研究生、教師及科研人員。
