Statistical Mechanics I (Statistical Mechanics of Particles): Course Description

'Statistical Mechanics I: Statistical Mechanics of Particles' covers topics, such as identical particles, interacting systems, kinetic theory, probability theory, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics - classical and quantum. Major lecture topics include thermodynamics, probability, gases kinetic theory, statistical mechanics - classical, interacting particles, statistical mechanics - quantum and quantum gases (ideal). Professor Mehran Kardar taught the original course to graduate students in the Physics Department via lectures.

'Statistical Mechanics I: Statistical Mechanics of Particles' OpenCourseWare provides access to the lecture notes, problem sets and practice exams. If you'd like to learn more about this course, please visit the particles statistical mechanics course page.
