Erwin Schrödinger - Statistical Thermodynamics. Course of Seminar Lectures -
1952, Second edition.

lectures on Statistical Thermodynamics. They were published in a small hectographed edition. In [this work] he covered the fundamentals of the subject with an insight and clarity that have never been equaled.
"The object of this seminar [was] to develop briefly one simple, unified standard method, capable of dealing, without changing the fundamental attitude, with ALL cases (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac, etc.) and with every new problem that may turn up. The interest is focused on the general procedure, and examples are dealt with as illustrations thereof.

There is, essentially, only one problem in statistical thermodynamics: the distribution of a given amount of energy E over N identical systems." (From the General Introduction by Schrödinger, f. 1)

Schrödinger argues that this "is the mathematical problem" and that it is "always the same" (ibid). He further states "There are two ways to think about it but there are two different attitudes as regards the physical application of the mathematical result"
