Solutions to Chandler's Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics
While I was a post-doc at Universiteit van Amsterdam, some colleagues and I held occasional study sessions covering David Chandler’s book Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics. As a grad student I had taken a course using that book, taught by the author himself. So I made an effort to contribute a little extra by TeX’ing up the solutions, with explanations, to many of the problems. I’ve uploaded them here.
- Exercise 1.6
- Exercise 1.10
- Exercise 1.11
- Exercise 2.4
- Exercise 2.7
- Exercise 3.11
- Exercise 4.9
- Exercise 4.10
- On the Small Changes in Auxiliary Functions Near Equilibrium (the original TeX file was lost in a hard drive crash; this is a scan of the version I turned in as part of a homework assignment)
