What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward guide from basic ensembles to practical applications in statistical physics. You'll cover microcanonical and canonical methods, partition functions, entropy, and temperature, linking them to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and calculations like mean free path, collision times, and thermal speeds for better data analysis and model validation in everyday physics tasks.
