Academic misconduct could result indisciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension ordismissal. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to committhese acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. This course will serve as adequatepreparation for graduate study in statistical mechanics.īy enrolling in this course, each student assumes theresponsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community inwhich everyone's academic work and behavior are held to the highest standardsof honesty. The course will build onthe results of PHYS 122.
The purpose of this course is to introduce thermal andstatistical physics from a formal perspective and to apply the theory to realproblems. Office Hours: drop by anytime, Thurs 1000-1200 Thermal and StatisticalPhysics (PHYS 303)
