Originally published in 1912, this classic has lost little of its scientific and didactic value, and is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of physics and historians of science.\u003cbr\u003ePart One describes the older formulation of statistico-mechanical investigations (kineto-statistics of the molecule). Part Two takes up the modern formulation of kineto-statistics of the gas model, and Part Three explores W. B. Gibbs's major work, \u003ci\u003eElementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics\u003c\/i\u003e and its coverage of such topics as the problem of axiomatization in kineto-statistics, the introduction of canonical and microcanonical distributions, and the analogy to the observable behavior of thermodynamic systems. The book concludes with the authors' original notes, a series of useful appendixes, and a helpful bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Conceptual Foundations of the Statistical Approach in Mechanics | Paul Ehrenfest | Paperback | 9780486662503 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks G 1746817","offer_id":48842590748824,"sku":"1746817","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81XOuHwWZ7L.jpg?v=1775236026","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/conceptual-foundations-of-the-statistical-approach-in-mechanics","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
