| * I have gotten some inquiries about the textbook (or what to read). Very nice! The textbook is ''Statistical Physics of Particles'' by Mehran Kardar. You can also read your favorite statistical/thermal physics book (e.g. by Landau, Feynman, or Fermi), if you have time and energy. However, following lectures well and reading one or two sources thoroughly is often a much better strategy than reading broadly, as far as following a course is concerned. | * '''~+It was fun to teach this class!+~''' Kudos to all students who studied hard and learned well! * I hope everyone did satisfactorily in the exam! The exam and its solutions can be downloaded from [[Homework+|here]]. Due to some other deadline matter, I may not be able to finish the grading of the exam until late Friday.

Welcome to Phys 219, 2012!
It was fun to teach this class! Kudos to all students who studied hard and learned well!
I hope everyone did satisfactorily in the exam! The exam and its solutions can be downloaded from here. Due to some other deadline matter, I may not be able to finish the grading of the exam until late Friday. I will let you know when the grading is done. – 12:11PM, Jun 12, 2012

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.
