What will I learn?
This course offers a streamlined, hands-on journey from basic ensembles to practical applications. You'll master microcanonical and canonical approaches, partition functions, entropy, and temperature, then apply them to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and computations like mean free path, collision times, and thermal velocities, empowering you to analyse data and test models effectively in your work.
