Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities. Sometimes called statistical physics or statistical thermodynamics. Its main purpose is to clarify the properties of matter in aggregate, in terms of physical laws governing atomic motion.
