Statistical Mechanics Lecture 1
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
(April 1, 2013) Leonard Susskind introduces statistical mechanics as one of the most universal disciplines in modern physics. He begins with a brief review of probability theory, and then presents the concepts of entropy and conservation of information. Originally presented in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.

I always wanted to be taught physics by George Carlin! ^_^
-
When you will be published other handouts of the courses after those of classical and quantum mechanics?
-
you forgot to insert subtitles in lessons number 1 6 and 10. You can fix it? Thank you
-
full glorious HD
-
so a bad law at 41:28 he mentions about bad laws vs good laws. Doesnt a black hole fit into a logic of bad law??
-
speed set to 1.25, then it's perfect.
-
Does anyone knows wich books he suggests for study?
-
in this lesson we are missing subtitles. You can insert them? Thank you
-
a lot of small mistakes in his lecture that none of the students were brave enough to correct. tisk tisk tisk...
-
is there a book/lecture notes for this course? thx
-
1:07:00 If one views the field between the two Newtonian bodies as another separate system the energies are additive again. Fields are physical systems, too... or aren't they?
-
Great video!!!
-
his accent is just like Feynman's :)
-
Is it correct to say then that functions of state are one-to-one functions and that "bad laws" are not? And can we say that they are bad because (mathematically) they are non-invertible?
-
I think he is amazing ;0
-
Is this for grad level or undergrad level?
-
lovely lecture. very informative..
-
Do any of these courses cover Maxwell's relations, Clapeyrons equation, etc. ?
-
dont understand why we need time for 1st law?
