Buy Statistical Thermodynamics on desertcart.com ✓ FREE SHIPPING on qualified orders Review: Advanced Work that Covers Many Unusual Aspects of Stat Mech - This little book is a great buy for the advanced undergraduate or graduate student who has already had some exposure to Statistical Mechanics. Schrodinger's influence on modern physics is well known (The Schrodinger Equation, Schrodinger's Cat, Schrodinger's Method), but less well known is his clear and lucid writing style, exemplified in popular works such as "What is Life," but also seen in this more specialized text. This being true however, Schrodinger assumes knowledge of basic statistical mechanics, so it's a good idea to have a standard reference like Tolman or Kittel handy. The last thing is it covers many topics that simply aren't in the standard works, but tend to crop up all the time. It is for this reason a very good reference for grad students whose research involves some aspect of statistical mechanics, since documentation of the different information and techniques in this work is difficult to find outside it. Finally, you can't beat it at the price of $8.95. Review: Excellent condition and very prompt shipping - Enhance my knowledge directly from the expert

Schrodinger's approach to statistical thermmodynamics
Dated, but a classic from on of the great minds or early modern physics.

Good book
Good book, but not for the faint hearted. Major concepts are not rigorously developed, expectation is the reader already understands the concepts.

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'approche, même si ce n'est pas celle que je préfère sur le sujet (rien ne vaut, à mon avis, le Landau Lifischitz en la matière). Mais Schrödinger arrive à la fois à être didactique et original. Ce livre vaut vraiment la peine d'être lu!

Not easy if you’re not into the subject

This is not for introduction but gives new insight

J'ai bien reçu ce livre sur mon kindle. Maais pas moyen de le transférer sur mon ordinateur, sur lequel sa lecture serait bien plus confortable!
