Khind ‘the transletion of this important book brings Yo the English-speaking vee erarcion ond mathematical physicist « thoroughly up-to-date Itrvodvetion to statistical mechanics th offers © precise and mathematically rigorous formulation of the prob- lens of statistical mechanics, as opposed to the non-rigorous discussion presented in most other works. It provides analytical tools needed to Faploce many of the cumbersome concepts and devices commonly used for establishing basic formulae, and it furnishes the mathematician with f topical step-by-step introduction, which will enable him to master the elements of statistical mechanics in the shortest possible time. “After @ historical sketch the author discusses the geometry and matics of the phose space, with the theorems of Liouville and Bitkhotf; the ergodic problem (in the sense of replacing time averages by phase leverages); the theory of probability, central limit theorem, ideal mon- Stomie gos; foundation of thermodynamics, and dispersion and dis- tribution of sum functions. an excellent introduction to the difficult and important discipline of Statistical Mechanics. It is clear, concise, and rigorous.
