Directory Topics
On the Web
- ArXiv Statistical Mechanics - Recent papers and preprints in Statistical Mechanics.
- Statistical Mechanical Simulator - Online applet and downloadable program to simulate equilibrium statistical mechanics.
- Guided Readings in Elementary Quantum Mechanics - Contains guided readings in Advanced Physical Chemistry and Theoretical Chemistry, specifically, Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics, with an emphasis on chemical applications. Notice that Guided Reading means what it says, you can not simply read the material contained in this site, you must answer questions about the material as you proceed. These notes allow persons to review/carry out the algebra and calculus for standard quantum mechanical problems.

Wikipedia Articles
- Quantum statistical mechanics - Quantum statistical mechanics is the study of statistical ensembles of quantum mechanical systems. A statistical ensemble is described by a density operator S, which is a non-negative, self-adjoint, trace-class operator of trace 1 on the Hilbert space H describing the quantum system.
- Statistical mechanics - Statistical mechanics is the application of probability theory, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles or objects when subjected to a force.
- Partition function (statistical mechanics) - In statistical mechanics, the partition function Z is an important quantity that encodes the statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is a function of temperature and other parameters, such as the volume enclosing a gas.
- List of textbooks in statistical mechanics - A list of notable textbooks in statistical mechanics, arranged by date.
- Timeline of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes - A timeline of events related to thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and random processes.
