Page 16, Problem 1.4. Use the capital N in l=Np.
Page 34. Eqs. (2.54)-(2.57). Technically not an error, but αρest probably means αρstat.
Page 35, Problem 2.4. The same letter A is used for the coordinate x and for the area in the phase space. It better to write x=Rcos(...).
Page 59, Problem 3.1. The isothermal compressibility.
Page 59, Problem 3.4. The given equations of state are rather unphysical. A more reasonable choice would be u=3Pv and P=aT4, which describes the photon gas.
Page 83, Problem 4.4. The statement that the entropy of the Boltzmann gas has the term -kBTlnT is wrong. The entropy of the Boltzmann gas is given in Eqs. (6.13) and (8.70) (with some typos!).
Pages 92-93, Eqs. (5.38)-(5.39). The should be no H in Eq. (5.39) and no H in the prefactor of Eq. (5.38).
Page 101, Problem 5.8. The term in the potential energy should be (1/2)mw2q2.
Page 105, Eq. (6.13). The last term should be +(3/2)kB.
Page 132, Eq. (7.63). The prefactor should be 1/b instead of b. The total power of b should be -5/2.
Page 135, Sec. E. The correct reference to the second paper by Lee and Yang is Phys. Rev. 87, 410 (1952).
Page 153, Eq. (8.71). The last term should have the opposite sign -kBln[...].
Pages 157-158, problem 8.3. The equation of state PV=(2/3)U applies only to the particles with the quadratic dispersion E=p2/2m. For particles with the linear dispersion E=cp, the equation of state is PV=(1/3)U.
Page 190, Eq. (10.11). The power 3/2 should be a 2/3, just like for the N/V.
Page 199, the bottom paragraph. "Not" is missing: u(n) depends on the equilibrium temperature T, but does not depend on the geometrical form of the cavity.
Page 200, Eq. (10.45). The equation of state should be PV=(1/3)U.
