What will I learn?
This Statistical Physics Course offers a concise, hands-on journey from basic ensembles to practical real-world applications. You will explore microcanonical and canonical approaches, partition functions, entropy, and temperature, then apply them to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and numerical validations such as mean free path, collision times, and thermal speeds, empowering you to analyse data and confirm models effectively in your professional tasks.
