In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

Modeling of systems with emergent behavior. The course has two components: (1) basic and intermediate statistical mechanics, and (2) application of the course methods to a case study, chosen from ...

NOT so long ago, statistical mechanics was almost synonymous with the somewhat arid topic of the dynamical theory of gases, but the development of the quantum theory has vastly increased the number of ...
