Learning outcomes
PLO-03. Develop and research conceptual, mathematical and computer models of processes and systems, use them effectively to gain new knowledge and / or create innovative products in physics (astronomy) and related interdisciplinary areas. PLO-07. Deeply understand the general principles and methods of natural sciences, as well as the methodology of scientific research, be able to apply them in their own research in physics (astronomy) and in teaching practice.

Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Basic laws of thermodynamics and methods of calculating thermodynamic quantities for such systems. 2. The main provisions of modern classical and quantum statistical mechanics of bounded and unbounded systems and systems with fluctuations. 3. Fundamentals of modern physics of phase transitions for inhomogeneous systems. 4. Distribution functions in microcanonical, canonical, isobaric-isothermal and large canonical ensemble. 5. Statistical sums in microcanonical, canonical, isobaric-isothermal and large canonical ensemble. 6. Functional derivatives, Taylor functional series. 1. Logically and consistently formulate the basic provisions and laws of statistical physics and thermodynamics of systems in which there are fluctuations. 2. Calculate the thermophysical properties of the inhomogeneous fluctuating substance, the three available information about the thermal and caloric equations of state.
Course content
basic laws describing the behavior of inhomogeneous and bounded substances in liquid and gaseous states in a wide range of changes in thermodynamic parameters, including around critical points and stability limits, ie in states where fluctuations are important and knowledge of correlation functions is necessary to calculate thermodynamic and structural features of the system
