Homework

• Homework 8, due June 10 or 11 (problems 1—4): Mean field theory, Landau theory, MC and RG

  • Correction: Due date.—4:12PM, Jun 03, 2014

  • Code: Python program for Monte Carlo (optional problem).—10:43AM, Jun 03, 2014

  • Plotting: In case you like to plot things up with python, here is some information that might be helpful: Plotting examples, Python, scipy, matplotlib.—10:43AM, Jun 03, 2014

• Homework 7, due May 30: BEC and phase transitions

• Homework 6, due May 22: Fermions, mostly

• Homework 5, due May 15: Ensembles, Quantum statistical mechanics (with solutions)

  • Removal: Problem 6. Will re-appear in HW 6.—7:27AM, May 14, 2014

• Homework 4, due May 1: Ensembles, Semi-classical statistical mechanics (with solutions)

  • Correction and note: The solution for part (d) was partially incorrect (for the lid part). Now this solution is corrected. Note that $2 \rightarrow d$ in the problem 3(g) ($d$ is any spatial dimension).—12:29PM, May 15, 2014
