Statistical Mechanics: A Set of Lectures
Open accessAbstract
R P Feynman London: W A Benjamin 1973 pp vii + 354 price cased £7.75 paperback £3.80 As might have been expected, Feynman's book on statistical mechanics is unconventional in both its presentation and its contents. Pitched at graduate level, the emphasis is on calculating techniques, and the sterile discussions indulged in by most authors of competing texts concerning ergodic theory, ensembles or information theory as a basis for statistical mechanics are just omitted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
