Statistical Physics
Lecture details
The lecture will be given by Professor Winkler.
Description:
- Statistical theory of equilibrium states (e.g. collective phenomena, phase transitions, renormalization group theory) and nonequilibrium processes (e.g. kinetic theory, stochastic processes).
Learning goals:
- Students learn the principles, on which the modeling of complex systems is based, as well as the mathematical methods that are employed in deriving and solving such models.
