Textbooks:

Two textbooks will be used:

In the beginning of the course the focus is on Thermodynamics for which we follow very closely:

R.H. Swendsen, Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics (Misprints and corrections)

(There is also a 2nd edition of the Swendsen book (from Dec.  2019), but the 1st edition is sufficient)

Later in the course we will use:

M. Kardar, Statistical Physics of Particles
