Matlab在“热力学统计物理”教学中的应用

Application of Matlab in “Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics”

在热力学统计物理中引入Matlab辅助教学,需要先适当补充Matlab基础知识,然后针对数学演算较为复杂的章节,如固体的爱因斯坦理论、波色-爱因斯坦凝聚等,用Matlab处理繁琐的公式推理。这样能突出物理本质,使得讲解条理清晰、形象生动,能有效调动学生的学习兴趣和积极性,提高教学效果。

A way of introducing Matlab to thermodynamics and statistical physics is proposed in this article to aid teaching. First, supplementary of basic Matlab knowledge is required. Then Matlab is employed in this course, aiming at those chapters with complex mathematical calculus, such as Einstein theory of solids and Bose-Einstein condensation. In this way, the physical concepts and rules behind the calculus are clearer, and the teaching contents become coherent and concise. The study enthusiasm would be stimulated and the teaching effect would be enhanced by employing this method.
