Welcome to Phys 219, 2012!
It was fun to teach this class! Kudos to all students who studied hard and learned well! Note that the exam score distribution and grading rubrics are available from here.
Welcome to the Graduate Course in Statistical Physics!
In this course, you will learn statistical and thermal physics in-depth. The topics to be covered include fundamental topics of the classical and the quantum equilibrium statistical mechanics, the linear response theory and the renormalization group. You will also practice numerical methods. When properly followed, this course should enable you to gain solid understanding on how the random microscopic motions lead to sure macroscopic phenomena. You should also gain ability to perform basic and advanced statistical physics calculations.
