Hi there,
I'm searching for a good book for statistical physics.

Professor as told us that the bibliography was Reif or Kittel (thermal physics)

However, both are a little bit old, and some not very formal. I'm wondering if something more formal, more recent, with more or less the same content of Kittel or Rief.

Thank you very much,
littlepig

What do you mean by 'formal'?

Like for instance Jackson for electrodynamics. It may be a little more difficult because the things are made in a good mathematic base with formal language.

Thanks for the quick response. :)

Have you tried 'Statistical Physics' by Landau and Lifshitz?
