Mathematicians with a basic understanding of quantum physics and physicists interested in the topic will benefit from this practical text. The treatment examines the basis of quantum statistical computational methods, the determination of the mean values of occupation numbers, the foundations of the statistics of photons and material particles, and statistical thermodynamics. 1960 edition.
Distinguished Russian mathematician A.Y. Khinchin introduces the mathematical underpinnings of quantum statistics in a manner accessible to both mathematicians and physicists. The book is aimed primarily at mathematicians, however, who will need only an elementary grasp of quantum physics to appreciate the author's well-organized and clearly written presentation.
A coherent, well-organized look at the basis of quantum statistics’ computational methods, the determination of the mean values of occupation numbers, the foundations of the statistics of photons and material particles, thermodynamics. 1960 edition.
