|style="color:#000"|[[Image:Nanoflyer.png|left|400px]] This is the second course in a sequence (PHYS 616 + PHYS 813) aimed to introduce physics graduate students to basic concepts and tools of statistical physics. Statistical physics is ''difficult to teach and learn'' due to: | |||
* students typically have had little experience making the connection between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, | |||
* a deep understanding of the probability theory is important, | |||
* the solution of a single equation or a set of equations such as Newton laws, Maxwell equations, or Schrodinger equation is not central to statistical physics, so that there are no standard procedures that work for a large class of problems and many calculations are unfamiliar to students, | |||
* there are few exactly solvable problems. | |||
Thus, the course will focus | |||
with application to | |||
areas of relevance to research in DPA, such as magnetism, condensed | |||
