Synopsis "statistical thermodynamics"

In this concise volume, one of the founder of quantum mechanics and one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the century (Nobel laureate, 1933) attempts to develop a simple, unified standard method of dealing with all cases of statistical thermodynamics (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.)The level of discussion is relatively advanced. As Professor Schrödinger remarks in the Introduction: It is not a first introduction for newcomers to the subject, but rather a 'repetitorium.' The treatment of those topics which are to be found in every one of a hundred text-books is severely condensed; on the other hand, vital points which are usually passed over in all but the large monographs (such as Fowler's and Tolman's) are dealt with at greater level.

Erwin Schrödinger (Vienna, 1887-1961) was the creator of wave mechanics and one of the scientists who most contributed to the development of atomic physics during the first half of the 20th century. Other fields in which he made significant contributions include thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the theory of relativity. In 1933, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Paul Dirac. Erwin Schrödinger is the author of a perennial classic: What is Life?, and other fundamental texts, such as Mind and Matter and Nature and the Greeks, all published in the Metatemas collection.
