熱統計物理一 (Thermal and Statistical Physics I)

一、課程說明(Course Description)

Statistical thermodynamics is a course in which we study macroscopic systems
from microscopic point of view. The goal of statistical thermodynamics is to
understand macroscopic phenomena and to predict macroscopic properties from the
individual molecules making up the system. In this course, I will introduce the
concept of statistical physics to students and make the connection of the
statistical physics with the thermodynamics.

先修知識: 需要有熱力學的基本知識,修習本課程才比較不會有障礙。
