Statistical Mechanics deals with some intellectually challenging material. The only way to learn the subject is to actually do the problems on your own. After you have made an honest and painful individual attempt at solving a problem, you may confer with your classmates or with me. However, you must write up the solutions to the problems on your own. Solutions which are incorrect, but which have good written explanations of why each step was carried out, will be given higher scores than those which do not. The take-home final must be done completely independently. The computational project will be done in pairs. You may email me at any time with questions. |
