T.Y.B.Sc. | Sem VI | PHY 363
PHYSICS
Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics

It’s a great pleasure for us to present this book Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics (PHY 363, Semester VI) for T.Y.B.Sc. Physics students of the Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. This book is written as per the revised syllabus of Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune to be implemented from June 2021.
We have tried to explain the concepts & information in lucid language so that students could understand it easily. Many senior faculty members have inspired us to perform this duty. We feel it’s not a new creations but presentation in simple form for the better understanding of students.
