This book provides a comprehensive exposition of the theory of equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics at a level suitable for well-prepared undergraduate students. The fundamental message of the book is that all results in equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics follow from a single unprovable axiom ― namely, the principle of equal a priori probabilities ― combined with elementary probability theory, elementary classical mechanics, and elementary quantum mechanics.
