What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward guide from basic statistical ensembles to practical applications. You will study 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 velocities to analyse data and test models effectively in your work.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
