What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward path from basic ensembles to practical applications in statistical physics. You will study microcanonical and canonical ensembles, 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 interpreting data and validating models effectively.
