  * 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 stat/thermal physics book (e.g. by Landau, Feynman, or Fermi), if you have time and energy.   * <<la(Review.pdf,"Review materials (as is) for Jun 8, Friday")>> &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2012-06-11T11:10:22-0700)>>''-~

<<fl(I)>>n 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 sure macroscopic phenomena. You should firmly learn how to perform basic and advanced statistical calculations. <<fl(I)>>n this course, you will learn statistical and thermal physics in-depth.
