equilibrium statistical mechanics
Equilibrium statistical mechanics is a branch of physics that uses statistical methods to understand the behavior of large systems in equilibrium, where the total energy of the system remains constant. It relates the microscopic properties of individual particles to macroscopic properties such as temperature, pressure, and volume, allowing us to predict the statistical distribution of those properties in equilibrium.
