Although you can also catch me whenever I am in my office, the noon-2 PM block is guaranteed. 1. Any work that you submit will be graded and will be available for pickup the next day. 1. You will gain immediate access to all solutions to homework (note: solutions up to homework set 5 are available here at Homework+, already), unless you indicate that you are working on supplemental work to submit later. 1. You are encouraged to come to my office and pick up all your graded homework. Do it today! 1. If and when you submit any supplemental work to an already graded homework, you are required to submit it ''along with'' the original homework. 1. No work will be accepteed after June 13 (or June 16, if there are any special circumstances).-~ |

Welcome to Physics 219, 2014!
I think everyone did well in this course. Remember—everything depends on statistical mechanics and keep learning it!—10:39AM, Jun 17, 2014
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.
