Physics for B.Sc. Students Semester IV: MJ-6, 7 & 8 | Mathematical Physics & Thermal and Statistical Physics - NEP 2020 Jharkhand

This textbook has been designed to meet the needs of B.Sc. Fourth Semester students of Physics as per Common Minimum Syllabus prescribed for Ranchi University and other Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020 in Jharkhand.

The Theory section is divided into two parts. First Part explores mathematical concepts foundational to physics. Starting with Fourier Series, it delves into complex areas such as the Frobenius Method and Integral Transforms. Topics like Laplace Transforms and Partial Differential Equations further provide students with analytical techniques essential for problem-solving in physics. Second Part is dedicated to Thermal and Statistical Physics. Students will begin with the Laws of Thermodynamics, followed by the study of Thermodynamic Potentials and Maxwell's Thermodynamic Relations. This section includes an in-depth analysis of Transport Phenomena and Classical and Quantum Statistics, which lay the groundwork for understanding phenomena such as Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics.
