Which Statistical Mechanics Book Has Solutions Available?

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for books on statistical physics that include solutions to problems, as existing resources like Huang's "Introduction" and the Sachs/Sens/Sexton book lack answer keys. Suggestions include M. Kardar's books, which provide complete solutions for half of the problems, and R. Kubo's "Statistical Mechanics," praised for its extensive worked problems and clear explanations. Additionally, Dalvit's book, although difficult to find and potentially expensive, is noted for its problem sets. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having accessible solutions to enhance understanding of the material.

I'm looking for a book on statistical physics. One's I've used already are Huangs Intro one and Sachs/Sens/Sexton. They're both great and the problems are great but neither provide answers nor are there any solutions to be found online so I have no idea if I understand the material.

Could someone suggest a book similar to these but with solutions available or even just answers? Or even better if someone knows of any online resource that has some solutions to the problems in either.

The two books by M. Kardar has complete solutions for half of the problems.

 
R. Kubo's "Statistical Mechanics" (not the 2 volume "stat physics" series) has tons of worked and partially worked out problems, plus really good explanations, best one on the subject I've laid hands on IMO.

The one by Dalvit has problems exclusively and is good too, although hard to find/expensive.
