PHYS 526: Statistical Physics

From the Spring 2020 semester through the Spring 2023 semester I taught a very traditional Statistical Physics class, leaning heavily on Kardar’s Statistical Physics of Particles and Pathria’s Statistical Mechanics textbooks. This course was superseded by PHYS 504, but if you’re interested you can see the syllabus here, along with a nicely TeX’d set of lecture notes for the class.

No need to take that photograph (taken during a student presentation) too seriously – I don’t think that quantum theory is ‘Overrated.’
