PHYS 4362 - Thermodynamics II

UG
Credit Hours: 3

This course serves as an advanced elective for physics majors. The second of two parts, this course will concentrate on fundamental principles of statistical thermodynamics. It will show how these principles are related to classical thermodynamics and classical mechanics. It will consider application of those principles towards simple microscopic models of gases, liquids, and solids. More in-depth study of phase transitions and physical kinetics is also possible.
