This 1966 volume is the Russian translation of Kerson Huang's classic and highly influential textbook "Statistical Mechanics," published by the Soviet publishing house "Mir," which specialized in translating key foreign scientific works. Huang (1928–2024), an eminent Chinese-American theoretical physicist and MIT professor, authored this rigorous and lucid exposition of the subject, covering fundamentals from thermodynamics and Gibbsian ensembles to quantum statistics and phase transitions. Its translation into Russian made this authoritative work accessible to generations of Soviet and Russian physics students, graduate students, and researchers. As a product of international scientific exchange during the Cold War, this hardcover edition represents the Soviet Union's systematic effort to incorporate contemporary Western scientific thought into its academic and educational framework.
