Course Description:
Statistical and thermal physics explain how macroscopic order and irreversibility emerge from microscopic laws. From particle dynamics to modern many-body systems, this course develops the principles that connect probability, entropy, and thermodynamics - ideas that are foundational to condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry, astrophysics, and other related fields. |
