I teach/taught and coordinate(d) 2nd and 3rd year core physics courses: 2nd year Quantum Mechanics (PHYS2041/2941/7141) and 3rd year Statistical Mechanics (PHYS3020). I also teach half of 4th year course Condensed Matter Physics (PHYS4030).
Tuesdays: Lecture, 1:00pm-1:50pm; 05-213
Wednesdays: Lecture, 12:00noon-12:50pm; 50-T103
Thursdays: Tutorial, 10:00am-10:50am; 07-204, 07-220, 09-803
Labs: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00-4:50pm, 7-329
Consultation hours: Tuesdays, 12:00noon-12:50pm, in 6-402
The weekley schedule of lectures, tutorials, suggested readings, and mid-semseter test date(s) can be found here:
Timetable_PHYS3020_2018.pdf
Readings are from the following main texts (either text can be used):
1. Daniel V. Schroeder, An introduction to thermal physics [Schroeder].
2. Charles Kittel and Herbert Kroemer, Thermal Physics [Kittel].
Students who would like to do extra-curriculum reading and familiarise themselves with, e.g., the density matrix formulation of quantum statistical ensembles, are encouraged to read the following advanced texts:
1. Kerson Huang, Statistical Mechanics (Wiley, 1963).
2. L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz, Statistical Physics, 3rd edition (Pergamon, 1980).
3. L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz, Quantum mechanics, 3rd edition (Pergamon, 1980).
These extra-curriculum readings are not part of the formal assessment.
