Mean Field Theory of Interacting Systems

Statistical Ensembles and Partition Functions → Limitations and Beyond Mean Field

This path guides advanced undergraduates through the concepts and methods needed to approximate interacting many-body systems using mean field theory. Starting from the statistical mechanics of non-interacting systems, it develops the molecular field approximation, Landau theory, and the calculation of critical exponents, culminating in the Weiss molecular field model of ferromagnetism.
