Hi,
I'm looking for a good book on statistical mechanics (to go with a course) and I've been considereing Tolman's book
http://books.google.be/books?id=4TqQZo962s0C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false
Is this book still up to date with the quantum mechanics? (I've read that the notation is outdated, how much of a problem would that be?)
Would you recommend a better book or is Tolman the way to go?
The reason I'm leaning towards this book is that it has a large section on classical statistical mechanics while other books usually jump straight to the quantum mechanics.Thanks
