Can someone recommend me some good textbooks or articles that contain or focus on statistical thermodynamics and/or oscillatory motion (preferably with advanced math, not just stories)?

Not sure what you mean by "advanced math" here, but a very good (and free!) book on waves at the college sophomore level by Prof. Georgi (Harvard) is:

Some more lower division notes on waves and upper division notes on thermal and statistical physics are posted by Prof. Fitzpatrick (UT Austin) at:

Are these the kind of thing you are looking for?

Thank you, this is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for.
