This is a part of Masterclasses at King's College London. The goal will be to cover certain aspects of non-equilibrium dynamics and it will be catered to attendees with Physics or Mathematics backgrounds. All lectures will be from 10 am-12noon UK time zone. There will be 3 sessions and in addition to lecture notes, I will also provide additional tutorial material. Some details are given below.
