Physics Lecture Notes Statistical Mechanics

This book is an introduction to the applications in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of chaotic dynamics, and also to the use of techniques in statistical mechanics important for an understanding of the chaotic behaviour of fluid systems. The fundamental concepts of dynamical systems theory are reviewed and simple examples are given.

Combined for researchers and graduate students the articles from the Sitges Summer School together form an excellent survey of the applications of neural-network theory to statistical mechanics and computer-science biophysics.

Statistical Mechanics: Problems with Solutions contains detailed model solutions to the exerciseproblems formulated in the companion Lecture Notes volume. In many cases, thesolutions include result discussions that enhance the lecture material. Forreader's convenience, the problem assignments are reproduced in this volume.

In these lectures we examine and derive various properties of the thermodjmamic pressure of point particles in Quantum Statistical Mechanics. Our main aim is to demonstrate that the pressure can be calculated from a variational principle the thermodjmamic pressure…
