Outline and Purpose of the Course Many of our surrounding substances are condensed systems in which countless molecules are gathered. In this lecture, we aim to understand the behaviors of various condensing systems from the viewpoint of statistical mechanics. Starting from the basics of statistical mechanics, we learn statistical mechanics handling of realistic molecular system.
Course Goals Confirm the relationship between thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and acquire statistical mechanics ideas to understand various phenomena as well.
Schedule and Contents Fundamentals of statistical mechanics (3times)
cumulant, phase space, micro canonical ensemble, grand canonical ensemble

Fundamentals of statistical mechanics of quantum system (3times)
Fermi statistics, Bose statistics

Interacting classical system (5times)
imperfect gas, cluster expansion, functional derivative, distribution function, integral equation theory for liquids
Evaluation Methods and Policy Evaluation will be based on active participation and an examination.
Course Requirements Knowledge of thermodynamics of undergraduate level and elementary statistical mechanics
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) While studying the thermodynamics and underlying statistical mechanics in the physics chemistry lecture of undergraduate, we recommend that you review it as necessary as the lecture progresses.
