Please try again. The second half is a whole different story. With the exception of the realization of physical systems that are very close to non-interacting Bose gasses and exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation, the topics covered have remained essentially the same for the past 60 years. Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery and exclusive access to music, movies, TV shows, original audio series, and Kindle books. His current interests include scalable parallel pseudorandom number generators, and interfacing quantum randomness with cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators. The set problems reinforce the theory exposed in the text, helping the student to master the material" --Francisco Cevantes, "Making sense out of the world around us in one of the most appealing facets of physics. This bar-code number lets you verify that you're getting exactly the right version or edition of a book. There is no shortage of textbooks on statistical mechanics and thermodynamics aimed primarily at physicists. He is married to Erika Gulyas, and has two children: Matthew and Melanie. The presentation of the material in 8.044 follows this approach quite closely. One of the 11 problem set grades, the lowest, will be dropped at the end of the term. The math in this book can get overwhelming at times, but it's really just beefed up physical chemistry. Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2015.
