The first conference will emphasize the teaching of thermal and statistical physics. Special attention will be given to areas of current research and technological interest which can be included in such courses, physics and chemistry educational research on conceptual understanding of thermal physics and probability, and innovative curricular materials and approaches. The goal is to bring together workers who are active in research in thermal and statistical physics, researchers in the new field of physics education, and people who teach courses in statistical and thermal physics. General information about the Gordon Research Conference is available . A preliminary list of the topics and scheduled speakers is given below .
