I was the lone TA for this class. I reworked many HW problems and made the solutions. I also gave a replacement lecture.

Classical Molecular Dynamics of Lennard-Jones Fluid

• statistical analysis: auto-correlation and standard error
• energy-conserving integrator: velocity Verlet
• correlation functions: g(r), S(k), v(t)v(0)

Classical Monte Carlo of Lennard-Jones Fluid

• detailed balance
• force-biased Monte Carlo

Classical Monte Carlo of 2D Ising Model

• heat bath algorithm
• cluster moves
