This course is an
introduction to statistical physics. The aim of statistical physics is to
model systems with an extremely large number of degrees of freedom. This PDF
covers the following topics related to Statistical Physics : Introduction to
statistical physics: ’more is different’, Combinatorics and emergent laws,
Microcanonical ensemble, Canonical Ensemble, Grand canonical ensemble, Ideal
systems and entropic forces, Statistical ensembles and thermodynamics,
Systems in interaction and phase transitions, Quantum statistics.
