Rading Group Philosophy of Physics (Tue. Nov 24)

[Erik Curiel]

If anyone feels like doing some background reading, I'm going to be 
following the treatment of the collision equation and the derivation 
given by Sommerfeld in his magisterial work *Thermodynamics and 
Statistical Mechanics*, chapter V, sections 41-44 (pp. 293-332).

You can find an e-copy (a DJVU document) of Sommerfeld's book on my 
website: http://strangebeautiful.com/other-minds.html

You don't need to read it, as I'll be working through the stuff in some 
detail, so look at it only if you want a sense or a grip on the finer 
details of everything.  Which, of course, is always a good idea.
