1. Introduction
Description of States
Macrostates: T, P, V, (fewer variables)
Microstates: position, momentum of each particles (~1023 variables)
Fundamental methodology of statistical mechanics
Probabilistic approach : statistical average
Most probable value
Is it reasonable ?
As N approaches very large number, then fluctuations are negligible
Central Limit Theorem (from statistics) Deviation ~1/N0.5

Principles of Equal a Priori Probability
All distributions of energy are equally probable
If E = 5 and N = 5 then
0 1 2 3 4 5
0 1 2 3 4 5
0 1 2 3 4 5
All configurations have equal probability, butpossible number of way (weight) is different.

A Dominating Configuration
For large number of molecules and large number of energy
levels, there is a dominating configuration.
The weight of the dominating configuration is much more
larger than the other configurations.

W = 1 (5!/5!) W = 20 (5!/3!) W= 5 (5!/4!)
Difference in Wbecomes larger when N is increased !
In molecular systems (N~1023) considering the
most dominant configuration is enough for average

Using the molecular partition function, we can calculate
average values of property at given QUANTUM STATE.
Quantum states are changing so rapidly that the observed
dynamic properties are actually time average over

Basic assumption:
1. leads to an equilibrium condition: equal temperatures
2. leads to a maximum of entropy
3. leads to the third law of thermodynamics

How large is W?
For macroscopic systems, super-astronomically large.
For instance, for a glass of water at room temperature:
Macroscopic deviations from the second law of
thermodynamics are not forbidden, but they are
extremely unlikely.
