The Course will cover the basic concepts and techniques of Statistical Physics in a pedagogical manner, through lectures and tutorials. Some advanced topics will also be covered. Discussions will include common difficulties faced by students, problems designed to explain concepts, and techniques to improve the presentation and teaching skills of participants. College/university teachers having at least a master’s degree in physics/ mathematics/engineering are encouraged to apply.

Topics: Most of the topics in a standard B.Sc./M.Sc. level course syllabus will be covered. There will be six courses dealing with fundamental concepts of statistical physics, probability theory, thermodynamics, quantum statistical physics and Bose–Einstein condensation, phase transitions and critical phenomena, and Monte Carlo techniques and stochastic evolution.
