Description
Starting with primary physical assumptions and their idealization in the form of postulates, this text examines the consequences of these postulates, culminating in the derivation of the fundamental formulas for calculating probabilities in terms of dynamical quantities and concluding with an analysis of the notion of entropy. Solutions. 1970 edition.
