What will I learn?
This Statistical Physics course offers a concise, practical route from basic ensembles to practical applications. You will study microcanonical and canonical approaches, partition functions, entropy, and temperature, linking these to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, and computations such as mean free path, collision times, and thermal velocities, empowering you to analyse data and test models effectively in your work.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Perform rapid order-of-magnitude estimates for gases and verify classical assumptions.
- Calculate Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distributions and determine key thermal velocities.
- Construct microcanonical and canonical ensembles and derive fundamental thermodynamic relations.
- Apply partition functions to compute internal energy, free energy, entropy, and pressure for realistic many-particle systems.
- Interpret temperature and entropy at the microscopic level, connecting dynamics to the second law.
