Description
The objectives of the course are to explain the macroscopic behavior of systems by their microscopic description and to present the universal characteristics in the study of thermodynamic systems.
- Reminder of thermodynamics
- A more general approach to statistical thermodynamics
III. Generalities on systems of identical particles without interaction
- Applications of Boltzmann statistics
- An example of the use of another statistic: blackbody radiation.
