Welcome to Physics 351 for the spring of 2017!

Course:	Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
Offered:	TTH 1:30-2:45	Martin 315
Professor:	Peter Sheldon	Martin 316, x8488 (Office), 238-5681 (Home)
Text:	Thermal Physics, Daniel Schroeder (1st and only edition)

Course Comments:  The course goals are to study and learn topics in thermodynamics and statistical physics at the sophomore-junior level, and to strengthen problem solving skills.  We will rely on your past understanding of thermodynamics and calculus and will use computers and do labs to aid in problem-solving. We will cover the topics of energy and the basic laws of thermodynamics, and Boltzmann and quantum statistics.
