Episode 09: Statistical mechanics and the surprising power of toy models
Summary:
A very brief introduction to statistical mechanics leads us through the Ising model for magnets, oscillons, traffice, and fluids. We discuss the importance of simple toy models and examine percolation on lattices. We end with some suggestions for projects. Today's prelude: Pantheon.
