熱統計物理 (Thermal and Statistical Physics)
<br>
<br>一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>Statistical thermodynamics is a branch of physics which studies macroscopic 
<br>systems from a microscopic or molecular point of view. The goal of statistical
<br>thermodynamics is the understanding and prediction of macroscopic phenomena
<br>and the calculation of macroscopic properties from the properties of the
<br>individual molecules making up the system. This course is aimed to introduce
<br>the concept of statistical physics to students and to make a connection
<br>of the statistical physics with the thermodynamics.
