About The Book

"Statistical Mechanics: Principles and Applications" by Terrell L. Hill is a renowned and comprehensive textbook that strikes a perfect balance between fundamental theory and recent advancements in the field of statistical mechanics. Before its publication, very few texts provided a complete view that combined both classical and modern statistical mechanics. This book fills that gap, offering a dual presentation that covers both basic principles and real-world applications of the theory.

The book begins with clear and concise introductory chapters on classical statistical mechanics, quantum statistical mechanics, and the relationship between statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Hill then transitions into detailed applications, such as fluctuations, theory of imperfect gases, and condensation. Notably, the author revisits Mayer’s theory and introduces new derivations, as well as discussing Yang and Lee's theory. Other chapters cover topics such as distribution functions, liquid state theory, nearest-neighbor lattice statistics (including Ising models), and theories of liquids and solids like free-volume and hole theories.

Written primarily for graduate students and researchers in chemistry, physics, and biology, this book is suitable for both second-year courses in statistical mechanics and as a supplementary resource for self-study or reference. The material is accessible without being overly simplistic, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to deepen their understanding of statistical mechanics. Additionally, bibliographic references at the end of each chapter guide further reading, making this a versatile and in-depth resource for students and professionals alike.
