5.0 out of 5 stars Review for statistical mechanics ( Kerson Huang)
This is a very good book for undergraduate physics students, it illastrates all the important concepts in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with well quanlified exercises.

However, the face of the book is more or less broken during the shipping.

This is a cut up version of Huang's Statistical Mechanics book intended for an undergraduate audience. The book is filled with mathmatical errors (or a lot of misprints) and grammatical errors. The chapters are only 3-4 pages on average with absolutely no insight or examples. The problems range from very easy to out of the scope of the book when you go from chapter to chapter. If I could have rated this book a negative value I would have. If you are looking for a starting point for Statistical Mechanics I would look somewhere else because this book is completely useless as far as I am concerned.
