Negative Positive
Title: An adequate Stat. Mech. book
Review: I would suggest that the previous reviewer get him/herself a tutor. (The formula Huang uses, log n! = n log n - 1, is correct for large numbers.) Statisticam Mechanics is a notoriously hard subject to present lucidly and clearly. Huang does a fairly good job. I was a little disappointed with his treatment of critical phenomena at the end of the book; for a much better and more comprehensive treatment, read Nigel Goldenfeld's "Lectures on phase transitions and the renormalization group".
Is the review positive or negative?
