In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities.

While most branches of physics. . . classical mechanics, atomic physics, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics. . . deal with one or two or a few dozen particles, statistical mechanics deals with, typically, …

Statistical mechanics, branch of physics that combines the principles and procedures of statistics with the laws of both classical and quantum mechanics, particularly with respect to the field of …

We now apply the fundamental assumption of statistical mechanics — that all accessible energy states are equally likely — to the combined system + reservoir.

The laws of mechanics which apply just to thermal equilibrium are called statistical mechanics, and in this section we want to become acquainted with some of the central theorems of this subject.

In this two-semester course, basic principles are examined. Topics include: Thermodynamics, probability theory, kinetic theory, classical statistical mechanics, interacting systems, quantum statistical …
