Complementary book for Schroeder's Thermal Physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on finding a complementary book for studying Thermal Physics alongside Schroeder's textbook. Users recommend "Concepts in Thermal Physics" by Blundell and Bundell as a suitable alternative, noting its similar content and approach. Additionally, a resource from World Scientific is suggested for its collection of solved problems, addressing the need for more worked examples in Schroeder's book.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Thermal Physics concepts as presented in Schroeder's textbook.
  • Understanding of problem-solving techniques in physics.
  • Basic knowledge of academic resources for physics literature.
  • Ability to evaluate and compare educational materials.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Concepts in Thermal Physics" by Blundell and Bundell for additional examples.
  • Explore the World Scientific resource for solved problems in Thermal Physics.
  • Investigate other complementary texts that align with Schroeder's pedagogical style.
  • Look into online forums or study groups focused on Thermal Physics for peer recommendations.
USEFUL FOR

Students of Thermal Physics, educators seeking supplementary materials, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding through additional worked examples and problem-solving resources.

Hello all.

I am studying Thermal Physics from Schroeder's book. I really like this book, but the number of worked examples and solved problems is minimum. Could you please suggest me a complemetary book with worked examples and problems? The ideal book should be similar to Schroeder's, with the same contents and same approach to the subject.

Thank you so much.

That's going to be hard, because Schroeder's approach is quite unique.

You should take a look at books of solved problems, such as https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/0883

I don't know if it is possible to meet all the criteria that you have given, but you might have a look at "Concepts in Thermal Physics" by Blundell and Bundell,
