Students... • learn about the complexity and diversity of stochastic phenomena of systems • will understand the relevance of length and time-scale when describing fluctuating systems • obtain solid expertise in the theoretical techniques required to treat stochastic phenomena, and are able to apply these methods to concrete research problems, • and will become competent to acquaint themselves with modern scientific questions. Integrated acquirement of soft skills: • autonomous working with scientific literature in English, • improving written and spoken English during lectures and exercises, • interdisciplinary thinking, and working |
| Pre-requisites | It is recommended to learn the application of some of the theoretical concepts developed in this course by taking it concomitantly or before PHM-0363: Method Course: Applying Theoretical Concepts from Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics. |
