The 1952 Nobel physics laureate Felix Bloch (1905-83) was one of the titans of 20th-century physics. He laid the fundamentals for the theory of solids and has been called the "father of solid-state physics". His numerous, valuable contributions include the theory of magnetism, measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron, nuclear magnetic resonance, and the infrared problem in quantum electrodynamics. Statistical mechanics is a crucial subject which explores the understanding of the physical behaviour of many-body systems that create the world around us. Bloch's first-year graduate...

Felix Bloch's first-year graduate course at Stanford University was the highlight for several generations of students. This work has been prepared by Professor Walecka from Bloch's unfinished text based on the course. It includes three sets of Bloch's handwritten lecture notes.
