This lecture introduces the Boltzmann distribution in statistical thermodynamics, focusing on the harmonic oscillator system. The instructor covers the theory behind statistical mechanics, degeneracies, and reduced temperatures. Students will implement different state occupancy functions and analyze the system's behavior as temperature varies.
