The Conceptual Foundations of the Statistical Approach in Mechanics advancing to systems of totalIn this concise classic, Paul Ehrenfest one of the twentieth century's greatest physicists reformulated the foundations of the statistical approach in mechanics. Originally published in 1912, this classic has lost little of its scientific and didactic value, and is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of physics and historians of science. Part One describes the older formulation of statistico mechanical investigations (kineto
