Students are introduced to the principles of elementary classical thermodynamics, kinetic theory, and statistical mechanics. These theories are applied to a variety of physical processes and systems, such as ideal and real gases, heat engines, and quantum systems. Prerequisite: PHYS 1100 and PHYS 1200 or PHYS 1150 and PHYS 1250 or PHYS 1103 and 1105 and PHYS 1203 and PHYS 1205 and MATH 2110 or MATH 2111 or MATH 2650
