Description
The aims 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 reminder
- A more general approach to statistical thermodynamics
III. General information on systems of identical particles without interaction
- Applications of Boltzmann statistics
- An example of the use of another statistic: blackbody radiation.

- Develop arguments with a critical mind.
Necessary prerequisites
Basic thermodynamics at bachelor's level in Chemistry, bachelor's level in Physics-Chemistry.
Knowledge control
Written final exam.
