What will I learn?
This course offers a focused, hands-on journey from basic ensembles to practical applications. Master microcanonical and canonical methods, partition functions, entropy, and temperature, linking them to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and computations like mean free path, collision times, and thermal velocities for effective data analysis and model validation.
