Statistical Mechanics II

Description

This secondo course in Statistical Mechanics majors builds on foundational concepts to explore more advanced topics. The course typically covers non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, including transport phenomena and the Boltzmann equation. Students delve into phase transitions and critical phenomena, studying models like the Ising model and mean-field theory. The course also examines fluctuations and correlations, with applications to real-world systems. Advanced topics may include the renormalization group theory, stochastic processes, and applications to fields such as condensed matter physics and biophysics. This course equips students with a deeper understanding of statistical methods and their applications in various physical systems
