Statistical Physics 2: Disordered Systems and Interdisciplinary Applications

Master 2 ICFP

Grégory Schehr and Francesco Zamponi

Presentation of the course:

ECTS: 3
Language of instruction: English
Time: Monday (see program), 8:30am-12:30pm, room L357 (24 Rue Lhomond)

In the last decades, statistical physics has proven to be a successful theoretical framework, able to tackle central problems in physics but also in very disparate fields such as biology, computer science, economics, etc. Explaining the theoretical developments that made such progress possible is the aim of these lectures. Students will acquire a solid theoretical background, both conceptual and methodological, which is useful in a very broad range of contexts and represents an important piece of modern theoretical physics.
The material of this course is based on previous courses by Giulio Biroli and Guilhem Semerjian. We warmly thank them for sharing it.
