Statistical Mechanics of Lattice Systems Volume 2: Exact, Series and Renormalization Group Methods

This two-volume work provides a comprehensive study of the statistical mechanics of lattice models. It introduces the reader to the main areas in statistical mechanics and the theory of phase transitions. The development is built on a firm mathematical and physical basis. Volume 1 contains an accoun...
