Foundations of Statistical Mechanics

Foundations of Statistical MechanicsThis volume demonstrates the manner in which statistical mechanics can be built up deductively from a small number of well defined physical assumptions. A solid basis for the deductive structure is provided by embodying these assumptions in a system of five postulates that describe an idealized model of real physical systems. These postulates play a theoretical role similar to that of the first and second laws in thermodynamics. The first chapter
