Description: 
This course will teach basic concepts of statistical physics through hands-on Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model and related systems. The goal is for students to gain intuition for the physics near critical points while developing essential computational skills. Numerical concepts will be discussed in lectures, but students will be expected to write, run, and analyze their own simulations.
