Mathematical Foundations of Statistical MechanicsThe translation of this important book brings to the English speaking mathematician and mathematical physicist a thoroughly up to date introduction to statistical mechanics. It offers a precise and mathematically rigorous formulation of the problems of statistical mechanics, as opposed to the non rigorous discussion presented in most other works. It provides analytical tools needed to replace many of the cumbersome concepts and devices commonly used
The translation of this important book brings to the English-speaking mathematician and mathematical physicist a thoroughly up-to-date introduction to statistical mechanics.It offers a precise and mathematically rigorous formulation of the problems of statistical mechanics, as opposed to the non-rigorous discussion presented in most other works. It provides analytical tools needed to replace many of the cumbersome concepts and devices commonly used for establishing basic formulae, and it furnishes the mathematician with a logical step-by-step introduction, which will enable him to master the elements of statistical mechanics in the shortest possible time.
After a historical sketch, the author discusses the geometry and kinematics of the phase space, with the theorems of Liouville and Birkhoff; the ergodic problem (in the sense of replacing time averages by phase averages); the theory of probability; central limit theorem; ideal monatomic gas; foundation of thermodynamics, and dispersion and distribution of sum functions.
"An excellent introduction to the difficult and important discipline of Statistical Mechanics. It is clear, concise, and rigorous. There is a very good chapter on the ergodic theorem (with a complete proof ) and . . . a highly lucid chapter on statistical foundations of thermodynamics . . . useful to teachers . . . and to mathematicians." ― M. Kac, Quarterly of Applied Mathematics.

Ignore the “Frequently returned item” message!
Color: Walnut Color, Color: Walnut Color
I usually don’t write reviews but I thought I should for these shelves. I was a little skeptical on these based on the “Frequently returned item” message but I decided to give them a shot and I’m glad I did! These shelves are solid and well made, beautiful color, fit perfectly in the corner of my wall, and are easy to hang. I’m not sure why they are frequently returned but I will be ordering another set for my wife’s side of the room.

Good looking, quality control needs improvement
Color: Acacia
The shelves are fine but one of the mounting blocks was glued on backwards which meant the holes for countersinking the mounting screwed ended up on the wrong side. It was easy to drill new countersinks so no big deal but a star is docked for quality control. They are cheap and looks good so I can't complain much.
