This book is a multi-purpose and "user-friendly" textbook covering both fundamentals (in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics) and numerous applications. The emphasis is on simple derivations of simple results which can be compared with experimental data. The first half of the book covers basic thermodynamics, statistical ensembles, Boltzmann and quantum statistics; and the second half covers magnetism, electrostatic interactions (solutions and plasmas), non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, polymers, superfluidity, renormalization theory, and other specialized topics. This book, while serving well as a reference book for research scientists, is especially suitable as a textbook for a one-year statistical mechanics course for undergraduate students in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, and material sciences. Alternatively, the first 5 chapters of the book can be used as the textbook for an undergraduate one-semester combined thermodynamics /statistical mechanics course (or statistical thermodynamics).

<p>This is a comprehensive and "user-friendly" textbook for a two-semester graduate level course in physics and electrical engineering. Many applications are given in the text. Over two hundred problems are also given. Problem solving by simple and direct approaches (with detailed calculations) are included, and hints are provided to solve the more difficult problems. Approaches to choosing suitable diagrams, coordinating systems and to symmetry requirements are discussed. Mathematical reviews are also given, with emphasis on intuition and fundamentals.</p>
