Statistical Thermodynamics: Microcanonical and Canonical Ensembles

Description

This lecture covers the historical development of kinetic gas theory, Bernoulli's and Maxwell's contributions, the concept of microcanonical ensemble, the definition of macrostate and microstate, and the canonical ensemble. It also discusses the arrangements of N particles in 2 spaces, Stirling's approximation, and the behavior of large and small N values in statistical thermodynamics.
