Welcome to Phys 219, 2012!
I have gotten some requests for the textbook. It is Statistical Physics of Particles by Mehran Kardar.
Welcome to Statistical Physics!
In this course, you will learn statistical and thermal physics in-depth. The topics to be included are 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 a sure macroscopic phenomenon and how you perform basic and advanced statistical calculations.
