Quantum Statistics Appendix A - Super conductivity Appendix B - Some useful definite integrals Appendix C - Physical constants and conversion factors<br/>The second edition of this book has following changes incorporated due to change in syllabie of some universities.<br/><br/>1. Electrical conduction and Lorentz-Drade theory has been included.<br/><br/>2. An appendix on 'superconducitivity' has been added which gives an introduction to this topic of current interest and thus completes the chapter on low temperature.<br/><br/>3. A new chapter on 'Quantum Statistics' has been included considering its importance in B.Sc. (Honours) and three year degree courses.<br/><br/>4. Some derivations have been changed or given in more details.
