| * Next class, we will study why X-ray scattering has a lot to do with the things that we've been discussing so far. I will leave the rest of the topics in the textbook for reading, and will merely mention some of them (mean field theory, variational principle) very briefly. And then we will get into quantum statistical physics. However, most of the stuff in quantum statistical physics is standard stuff in undergrad curricula. So, I will be moving very fast. Please be sure to read them, though. – ~-''<<DateTime(2012-05-01T18:31:31-0700)>>''-~ * [[Homework+|Homework 3]] is on-line. If you have any question, let me know through any channel. |

Welcome to Phys 219, 2012!
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.
