33-766 Special Topics in Statistical Mechanics

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The principles developed in 33-765 are applied to the statistical mechanics of interacting systems. Phase transitions and critical phenomena are discussed. The statistical principles relevant to linear transport properties are developed. More general non-equilibrium phenomena are discussed in the context of fluid mechanics of continuous media.
