Based on the knowledge obtained in the course Statistical Physics I the students are familiarized with the applications of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

Stochastic processes, transport theory (Boltzmann's equation); Phase transitions and critical phenomena; computer simulations

The lecture is held in close cooperation with the Statistical Physics II Exercise course.
The students are invited to attend the combined lecture-exercise classes.
However, both courses can also be taken independent of each other.

Further information and lecture notes can be found in the TUWEL-course.

First meeting Tue 05.03.2019, 08:30 FH HS 6

Please sign in for the lecture till March 10th, 2019.

2 alternative exam options:

a) "VO-Modus": one written  and oral exam at the end of the semester on the content of the lecture. (Replacement test in October and additonal oral exams until two years after the end of the course).

b) "VU-Modus": Joint grading with the exercise course "UE 136.050 Statistical Physics II": written exam at the end of the semester including exam on the interactive tutor-based exercise classes (every week either lecture or exersice classes); (replacement test in October, no further oral exams).

Registration for the Statistical Physics II Exercise course via TISS is required before10.03.2019 for participants who choose the exam option b).
