Description
Book SynopsisThis is a masters/graduate level textbook on statistical physics. The basics of the discipline and its application in the current topics of interest like Bose-Einstein condensate, statistical astrophysics and phase transitions have been discussed with thoroughness.This is a systematic introduction and development of a course material tried successful over a number of years. Feedback from the students tells that it has immensely helped them in their later research.
