Daniel V. Schroeder, Professor of Physics, Weber State University
Daniel V. Schroeder is Professor of Physics at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, USA. He earned his PhD in Physics at Stanford University, then taught briefly at Pomona College and Grinnell College before coming to Weber State in 1993. He is the coauthor, with Michael E. Peskin, of An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory. From 2012 through 2016 he served as Associate Editor of the American Journal of Physics.
"I am a great admirer of Schroeder's book. While writing a graduate textbook in the subject, I studied many books in statistical mechanics, at various levels of sophistication. Of these, Schroeder's text stood out. Indeed, it was the only one I envied — his sense of fun, his vivid explanations, and his deep insights into conceptual issues." - James P. Sethna, Cornell University, author of 'Statistical Mechanics: Entropy, Order Parameters, and Complexity', Second Edition, OUP 2021
