In this video we give a complete introduction to the foundations of statistical mechanics.
We are going to examine the physics of macroscopic systems. It is the physics used to describe systems with number of particles on the order of 10^23, the Avogadro constant.

With such numerous degrees of freedom, keeping track of the motion of each individual particle becomes untenable, one is therefore forced to combine the use of the laws of mechanics with statistics, to describe the averages and aggregates of physical observables.

And so statistical mechanics was born. At the heart of this subject lies the partition function, which carries all information concerning a macroscopic system in thermal equilibrium. This is today’s topic.
