Description

The objectives of the course are to explain the macroscopic behavior of systems through their microscopic description and to present the universal characteristics in the study of thermodynamic systems.

  1. Thermodynamics reminders
  2. A more general approach to statistical thermodynamics

III. Generalities on identical particle systems without interaction

  1. Applications of Boltzmann statistics
  2. An example of the use of another statistic: black body radiation.
