- I recommend your reading my solutions, even if you did very well. In particular, solutions to problems 7 and 3 are physics-rich. Solution to problem 2 is worth reading, too, I think. I am happy to see that everybody is very good with the evaporative deposition (problem 6) and the cumulant expansion (problem 4)!
Homework 1, due Apr 12: Thermodynamics (with solutions)
Score stats: 75 ± 11 out of 90.
Code: python program for Monte Carlo
Changes: MC.py: docstring for the "measure" method is improved, and tabs are replaced by four spaces. – 8:19PM, Jun 05, 2012
