Summary: This introduction to statistical physics concentrates on the basic principles and attempts to explain these in simple terms, supplemented by numerous examples. These basic principles include the difference between classical and quantum statistics,B a prioriB probabilities as related to degeneracies, the vital aspect of indistinguishability as compared with distinguishability in classical physics, the differences between conserved and non-conserved elements, the different ways of counting arrangements in the three statistics (MaxwellbBoltzmann, FermibDirac, BosebEinstein), the difference between maximization of the number of arrangements of elements, and averaging in the DarwinbFowler method.
