Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermal Physics. During a pandemic.
Discussion happens on the Piazza site TODO: Update
Find a PDF here (you may need to click on "View Raw").
Main textbook: Schroeder's Introduction to Thermal Physics. It comes with some supplemental resources, but Schroeder's blog is interesting and often relevant.
Required supplemental text: Gould and Tobochnik's Thermal and Statistical Physics. Please note that the book is available for free in PDF form both in the previous link and directly on comPADRE.
IPython Notebooks and Excel Files from Chapter 2 may be found in the IntroProbability section
Monte Carlo introduction and our start at Ising models may be found in the Chapter 8 and Other Monte Carlo sections.
The first homework for March Madness Monte Carlo may be found here
Team up with Adam Hoppe, Chris Kelly, or Jeff Knight again
