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.
- Thermodynamics reminders
- A more general approach to statistical thermodynamics
III. Generalities on identical particle systems without interaction
- Applications of Boltzmann statistics
- An example of the use of another statistic: black body radiation.
