Universal Theories

This course is part of The Physics of Emergence: Introduction to Condensed Matter Specialization

Instructor: Rahul Nandkishore

What you'll learn

  •   Explain the concept of universality.
  •   Describe the renormalization group and how it explains universality.
  •   Explain metals and insulators

    • Skills you'll gain

  •   Physics
  •   Semiconductors
  •   Applied Mathematics
  •   Calculus
  •   Mathematical Modeling
  •   Advanced Mathematics
  •   Electronic Components

    • There are 4 modules in this course

    This course introduces two pillars of modern condensed matter physics. The first two modules introduce the renormalization group, which is the central paradigm of modern statistical physics, and has wide applicability across physics and beyond. The third and fourth modules introduce band theory, which is central to solid state physics, and uses it to explain metals and insulators.
