(Tentative) website for the lecture
Mathematical statistical physics
Exercise Sessions (start in the second week): Wednesday 14-16 (B004)
Tutorials (start in the second week): Thursday 14-16 (B005)
Preliminary content of the (mathematical part) of the lectures:
- Ideal gases and Bose-Einstein condensation
- Thermal equilibrium: general theory
- Phase transitions in quantum spin systems
Exam: The final exam will take place on Thursday, July 27 in room B004, starting at 12.30. It will be made of two parts corresponding to the two parts of the lecture. For the exam to be passed, students must pass both parts independently. For the mathematics part, a bonus of +5% will be added to the exams total points, if the student has obtained at least 50% of the maths exercise points during the semester.
