| Course description |
| This class goes together with the lecture of “thermodynamics and statistical mechanics”. Each student is required to calculate a plenty of exercises by his or her hand in order to deepen the understanding and the way of thinking of statistical thermodynamics. This class is also to learn the basic mathematical techniques of statistical physics for solving the typical exercises and also for application to actual physics. |
