Past news of persistent value
During the make-up class, we discussed the interactions in a semi-classical system. We derived the van der Waals equation, and discussed the Mayer cluster expansion. Also, very briefly mentioned the pair distribution function and its implication in semi-classical statistical mechanics. Section 21.2 is the main thing that we did, and it is highly recommended for your careful reading. Also, Sections 21.6 and 21.7 are recommended for your reading.—12:57PM, May 22, 2014
LN 2 has been enhanced just a bit more.—10:16AM, Apr 09, 2014
LN 2 has been debugged rather substantially from page 8 and onward. Update your copy!—1:45PM, Apr 08, 2014
Today’s class is postponed to some other time in mid-quarter (more details given in my first email sent to you this morning). In the mean time, please be sure to take in what is in lecture notes 1 and 2. Lecture note 2 has a summary of a lot of important stuff. Homework 1 is also posted.—11:46AM, Apr 03, 2014
The course this year will proceed much like the last year’s course. Please consult the last year’s web page to get a feel for the course, already, if you like.
