如果說同學的筆記是上課的精華,那老師的筆記就是精華中的精華! 林秀豪教授的熱統計物筆記公布囉! 想知道幽默風趣的豪豬教授的筆記有多可愛嗎? 想 知道80分鐘的課程,是如何幻化成幽默的卡通語言嗎?
【教科書】
Thermal Physics (second edition, 1980) by Kittel and Kroemer.
一般來說,教科書最好不要太舊,才能跟上科學進展的腳步。很認真地讀了幾本新的教科書,發現 Kittel and Kroemer 寫的熱物理真是經典,也很對我的胃口。當然這和作者都在美國的加州大學任教無關,尤其與 Kroemer 在風光明媚的 Santa Barbara 教書這件事,特別沒有關係。
【背景知識】
General Physics: Temperature, entropy and heat. Bolzmann distribution. Stationary states (energy levels) in quantum physics.
Applied Math: Partial differentiation. Probability theory.
熱統計物理所需的背景知識不多,如果你之前很混,這是你東山再起的好時機。但這並不是說這門課很容易,因為上課內容包含很多新觀念,所以需要相當多的時間才能消化。教科書後面的習題一定要做,不然你跟得上的機率很小。
