Modern Physics: Statistical Mechanics (Spring 2013)

This series of videos concentrate on classical and quantum statistical mechanics, the meaning of entropy temperature, and the crisis in physics that was called the “ultraviolet catastrophe” — which ultimately led to quantum mechanics. Leonard Susskind will also cover superconductors and models of ferromagnetism, if time permits. To appreciate the material covered in this course, students should understand basic calculus and algebra. Originally presented in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.

    10. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 10 (June 3, 2013)

    (June 3, 2013) Professor Susskind continues the discussion of phase transitions beginning with a review of the Ising model and then introduces the physics of the liquid-gas phase transition.

    9. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 9 (May 27, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind develops the Ising model of ferromagnetism to explain the mathematics of phase transitions. The one-dimensional Ising model does not exhibit phase transitions, but higher dimension models do. (May 27, 2013)

    8. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 8 (May 20, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind continues the discussion of reversibility by calculating the small but finite probability that all molecules of a gas collect in one half of a room. He then introduces the statistical mechanics of magnetism. (May 20, 2013)

  4. 2013/05/24 · ビデオ

    7. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 7 (May 13, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind addresses the apparent contradiction between the reversibility of classical mechanics and the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy generally increases. This topic leads to a discussion of the foundation of chaos theory. (May 13, 2013)

  5. 2013/05/24 · ビデオ

    6. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 6 (May 6, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind derives the equations for the energy and pressure of a gas of weakly interacting particles, and develops the concepts of heat and work which lead to the first law of thermodynamics. (May 6, 2013)

  6. 2013/05/22 · ビデオ

    5. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 5 (April 29, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind presents the mathematical definition of pressure using the Helmholtz free energy, and then derives the famous equation of state for an ideal gas: pV = NkT. (April 29, 2013)

  7. 2013/05/07 · ビデオ

    4. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 4 (April 22, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind completes the derivation of the Boltzman distribution of states of a system. This distribution describes a system in equilibrium and with maximum entropy. (April 22, 2013)

  8. 2013/05/07 · ビデオ

    3. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 3 (April 15, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind begins the derivation of the distribution of energy states that represents maximum entropy in a system at equilibrium. (April 15, 2013)

  9. 2013/04/24 · ビデオ

    2. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 2 (April 8, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind presents the physics of temperature. Temperature is not a fundamental quantity, but is derived as the amount of energy required to add an incremental amount of entropy to a system. (April 8, 2013)

  10. 2013/04/16 · ビデオ

    1. Statistical Mechanics Lecture 1 (April 1, 2013)

    Leonard Susskind introduces statistical mechanics as one of the most universal disciplines in modern physics. He begins with a brief review of probability theory, and then presents the concepts of entropy and conservation of information. (April 1, 2013)
