Theoretische Physik IV: Statistische Mechanik

B.Sc. Physik

Wintersemester 2026/27

Beginning of course

The first class will take place on Wednesday, October 14, 2026.

Spacetime

  • Wednesday, 11:30 - 13:00, Hörsaal V57.02, Pfaffenwaldring 57
  • Friday, 11:30 - 13:00, Hörsaal V57.02, Pfaffenwaldring 57

General Information

  • The lecture will be given in German.
  • The registration for the exercise groups will be open from TBA. To do so, you need the Lecture Key given in the second lecture. Note that the registration is only possible from within the university network.
  • If you assign a password at the registration, you can request your current scores here. This is highly recommended.

Recordings of the lectures can be accessed via ILIAS. The recordings should be seen as a service to those of you who cannot come on a specific date (e.g., due sickness etc.) or want to recap later. However, I highly recommend attending as many lectures as possible, to take advantage of the interactive nature of the classroom and learn with/from your peers.

Examination

There will be a written exam at the end of the course (spacetime to be announced) on the content covered by the lecture. The exam will be 2h and you will be allowed to bring one A4 page (both sides) with handwritten notes.

To qualify for the written exam, you have to pass the exercise class (see below). Students who have already obtained a suitable certificate from another lecturer must have it recognized by TBA by sending it via E-Mail to Prof. Scheurer.

Requirements to pass exercise class

The weekly exercises class will involve:
(1) Handing in solutions for those exercises labeled as "written"; these will be marked and discussed in the next tutorial. The deadline is Mondays at noon. Please upload your solutions on ILIAS before the deadline.
(2) Virtual presentations: at the beginning of every tutorial, you can indicate on a list which parts of the exercises labeled as "oral" you have prepared and are willing to present. While everyone will get points for the parts signed up for, only one person will have to present it.

If any question on the exercise lists is not clear enough, please feel free to contact your tutor for clarifications.

In order to pass the exercises, you need at least 50% of the points in (1) and 66% of the points in (2); furthermore, every student is required to present at least two times on the blackboard.
