物理热力学统计物理教科书

书籍介绍
这本教材最出圈的地方，是用「魔法师变兔子」的荒诞比喻来引入焓与自由能——读者纷纷表示这个梗「一辈子忘不掉」。 Schroeder 把第二定律从「自然基本定律」中剥离出来，指出它纯粹源于概率与巨大数字的数学：宏观世界概率压倒性，于是我们干脆把它当作公理来处理。这种把抽象统计图像讲得可感可触的笔法，正是它区别于刻板教科书的关键。书从热力学与统计物理的统一视角切入，兼顾经典应用，并延伸到 Ising 模型与 Monte Carlo 方法，被多位助教和自学者推为「热统入门不二选择」。它适合愿意啃文字讨论、不急于求成的初学者；若你只关心公式与证明，或许会觉得它略显啰嗦。

精彩摘录
  • "The second law is not built into the fundamental laws of nature, though; it arises purely through the laws of probability and the mathematics of very large numbers. But since the probabilities are so overwhelming for any system large enough to see with our eyes, we might as well forget about probabi"
  • "Entropy is the more fundamental quantity, governed by the second law of thermodynamics. Temperature is less fundamental; it is merely a characterization of a system's "willingness" to give up energy, that is, of the relationship between its energy and entropy."
  • "thermodynamic identity: dU = T*dS - P*dV + ∑ μ*dN."
  • "Extensive and Intensive Quantities The number of potentially interesting thermodynamic variables has been growing lately. We now have U, V, iV, S, T, P, /i, H, P, and G, among others. One way to organize all these quantities is to pick out the ones that double if you simply double the amount of stuf"
  • "Because a system will spontaneously seek out the state of lowest free energy, this property tells us that equilibrium phases almost always contain impurities."
  • "The usefulness of the formula F = -k*T* In Z is that from F we can compute the entropy, pressure, and chemical potential, using the partial-derivative formulas"
  • "Degeneracy pressure is what keeps matter from collapsing under the huge electrostatic forces that try to pull electrons and protons together. Please note that degeneracy pressure has absolutely nothing to do with electrostatic repulsion between the electrons (which we've completely ignored); it aris"
  • "Heat is defined as any spontaneous flow of energy from one object to another, cause by a difference in temperature between the objects."

魔法师变兔子的梗简直了……
有趣！
好书 可以自学
入门，但最后也讲到了 Ising model 和 Monte Carlo。对物理的讲解挺到位，文字讨论有点太多，对新手友好，但会让人有点没耐心读。习题好和证明不够严谨好多人都提到了
简单清晰 法师兔子那个感觉能记一辈子= = 初学热统读读好 留作参考书就不够了
热力学，统计物理
今年给热统课做助教。感叹美帝的孩子有这样的教材真幸福啊。用魔法师变兔子来引入焓和自由能的概念，真的一辈子都忘不了了哈哈哈
