Further corrections and suggestions are always welcome. I have also redrawn and improved a number of the illustrations, including all of the spreadsheet-generated graphs. Wiegerinck for bringing many of these errors to my attention. DVS Ogden, Utah NovemNote on this corrected edition: I have taken the opportunity to correct all of the known errors in the original edition of this manual. I am also indebted to Deb Badger for the use of her Macintosh G4 computer, which allowed me to run the True BASIC simulations in a reasonable amount of time.

This manual has benefited from several corrections that were contributed by instructors using draft chapters. I am extremely grateful to the many instructors and students who have already used An Introduction to Thermal Physics and sent comments and suggestions. If you find errors in either that are not listed on the web pages, please let me know. Perhaps most importantly, you will find a page listing corrections to the book, and a similar page for this manual.

There you will find some instructions on getting started with Excel, Mathematica, and True BASIC, plus a variety of other information about the book and about thermal physics. If you havenвЂ™t already, please browse the web site for the book, which (for the foreseeable future) is at the URL вЂњвЂќ. I would be interested to hear from instructors or students who have solved the more intricate problems using other computing environments. My own choices were determined by trade-oв†µs among such factors as personal familiarity, ease of use, readability of the printed record, portability between operating systems, apparent stability over time, and consistency within this manual. I recognize that no computing environment is perfect in all respects, and that others will make diв†µerent choices, for excellent reasons. In this manual I have used three diв†µerent microcomputer-based computing environments: the Excel spreadsheet program for making tables of numbers and some graphs Mathematica for plotting formulas, for numerical integration and root finding, and for occasional symbolic computation and True BASIC for the Monte Carlo simulations in Problems 8.26 through 8.32. Although the problems themselves do not assume any particular computing environment, their solutions do. About 75 of the problems in the book require some sort of automatic computation, beyond what can be done with a simple pocket calculator. Of course, one can always say more about almost any question or calculation IвЂ™m sure that many students and instructors can add further insight to what is written here. The solutions are not just hints or outlines-I have tried to include as many algebraic steps as a typical student would need to write out, plus enough prose to explain both the method of solution and the meaning of the results.
