Duncan, Matthew Dennison, Andrew J. Topics from modern statistical mechanics are explored in 8.334: the hydrodynamic limit and classical field theories. Frenkel "Monte Carlo study of the isotropic and nematic phases of infinitely thin hard platelets", Molecular Physics 52 pp. The phase transition behavior has already been observed previously by Chatterjee and Varadhan, but the determination of the exact precise phase boundary is new. Kadanoff's work in the theory of phase transitions in statistical physics, for example, led to a better understanding of the conversion of water to ice or water to water vapor. Boltzmann's formula S=In[W(E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble.

Daan Frenkel and Rob Eppenga "Monte Carlo Study of the Isotropic-Nematic Transition in a Fluid of Thin Hard Disks", Physical Review Letters 49 pp. This is a very well studied model in computational statistical physics, although not much seems to be known so far mathematically. Phase transitions and broken symmetries: universality, correlation functions, and scaling theory. The usual textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to the canonical emsemble introduced by Gibbs. Should have a working knowledge of statistical mechanics on the intermediate level.
