4.0 out of 5 stars
This book was excellent preparation for the qualifying exam,
By LTSpike (Champaign IL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Problems and Solutions on Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics (Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions) (Hardcover)
Although I do not attend one of the schools from which these questions were taken, I found it an excellent review tool nonetheless. It has a great variety of problems, and the solutions include all major steps for the most part. Sometimes steps are skipped, but if this book is used to supplement any standard text on the subject it can be a very powerful and useful tool.
