PHYS 716 Advanced Statistical Mechanics
The course provides an overview of Statistical Mechanics. That covers a probabilistic approach to equilibrium properties of large numbers of degrees of freedom. In this course, basic principles of statistical mechanics are examined. Topics include: Thermodynamics, probability theory, kinetic theory, classical statistical mechanics, quantum statistical mechanics of interacting systems, quantum statistical mechanics, and identical particles. The course also provides deep understanding of microstates and macrostates, entropic dynamics, Application of quantum field theory and Temperature dependent Greens function to statistical mechanics.
NOTE: This course is a pre-requisite to producing a dissertation in Physics
