Homework

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

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

    • Plotting: For plotting things up in Python, here is some information that might be helpful: Plotting examples, Python, scipy, matplotlib.—7:33AM, Jun 08, 2014

    • Corrections: Problem 2(b): $\lambda \rightarrow -\lambda$ in two equations and $f/N^{1/3} \rightarrow f\cdot N^{1/3}$. Problem 4(f): "(for a certain pressure range)" added.—9:28PM, Jun 04, 2014

  • 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

    • Addition: Diagram for problem 3 is changed so that all $t$'s have a vector symbol (arrow) above them.—10:40AM, Apr 25, 2014

  • Homework 3, due Apr 24: Probability, Irreversibility (with solutions)

    • Score stats: 84 ± 15 out of 95.

    • Changes: Typesetting (font) change. A comment added to 3(b). The second displayed equation in 4(f) is corrected.—12:21PM, May 06, 2014

    • Correction: Problem 3(c): Eq. T1.5.1a → Eq. 6.13.—11:41AM, Apr 22, 2014

    • Addition: Problem 2(b) now has more comments (clarification on notation).—11:11AM, Apr 22, 2014

  • Homework 2, due Apr 17: Probability (with solutions)

    • Score stats: 55 ± 10 out of 70.

    • Update: Solutions: problem 2 now has some new parts (latex part), which summarize or update the hand-written answer (part (c)).—4:23PM, Apr 23, 2014

  • Homework 1, due Apr 11: Thermodynamics (with solutions)

    • Score stats: 69 ± 11 out of 90.
