Welcome to Physics 418. This webpage will host the homework assignment, and any announcement for the class.
The basic plan for the course is outlined below. I will draw mainly from my own lecture notes, but the books above cover the basic material. In addition, the course texts are on reserve in the POA library that you may wish to consult. Depending on time and interest, I will also try and cover some more advanced topics in statistical mechanics, such as stochastic theory and elements of quantum information.
