Teaching Method

Outline:
The course treats the basis of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics which are essential to understand modern technology such as nanotechnology and cryogenic technology.
Style:
The schedule of this lecture might be slightly changed so that students can easily follow. Student masters this course through lectures and seminar.
Notice:
The final grade will be calculated according to the following process: reports(40%) and term-end examination(60%). The recognition of credit requires 60 points or more rating.
