This is a blog for Math C6.2a at University of Oxford. It is a new module on statistical mechanics for 4th-year mathematics students, and it is was taught for the first time in Fall 2011, so this is year #2.

Statistical Mechanics on the BBC
Here are the BBC shows by Jim Al-Khalili on statistical mechanics that Mark Wilkinson mentioned in lecture today:
Order and Disorder, Episode 1: Energy
Order and Disorder, Episode 2: Information
(P.S. The titles of the shows make me want to make snarky comments about Episodes 1 and 2 of Star Wars.)
Update: Mark mentions that Maxwell's Demon is discussed at 24:40 in Episode 2.
