520 _a"Requiring only familiarity with the elements of calculus and analytical geometry, this monograph constructs classical statistical mechanics as a deductive system, based on the equations of motion and the basic postulates of probability. The book consists chiefly of theorems and proofs that are expressed in a manner that reveals the theory's logical structure. A chapter on mathematical tools makes the treatment as self-contained as possible."--
