What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to statistical physics, covering ensembles, partition functions, entropy, and temperature. It links these to kinetic theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, and practical calculations like mean free path and thermal speeds, enabling you to analyse data and test models effectively in physics applications.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Perform quick order-of-magnitude estimates for gases and check classical assumptions.
- Calculate Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distributions and identify key thermal speeds.
- Construct microcanonical and canonical ensembles to derive thermodynamic laws.
- Apply partition functions to find energy, free energy, entropy, and pressure in multi-particle systems.
- Understand temperature and entropy at a microscopic level, relating dynamics to the second law.
