3374/6351 Web Site References
These are just a few of the many web sites related to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Please let me know when you come across others so I can include them here.
From
Physics Web
, resources related to
Statistical Physics
(including the random walk, brownian motion, and the Ising model)
Thermodynamics
(including heat engines)
Chaos
Materials Science
A collection of
Java Applet Simulations
of various concepts (particles in a box, the random walk, Maxwell's Daemon, models for solids and liquids, etc) from the
Statistical and Thermal Physics Curriculum Development Project
at Clark University.
There are other useful resources at that site, such as the draft of an online
textbook
by
Harvey Gould
and
Jan Tobochnik
.
EES (Engineering Equation Solver)
. Software you can use to solve differential equations related to heat flow.
A nicely done timeline
history of stat mech and thermo
from about 1500 to today, with links to biographies and other references.
