關於此課程：Modern engineering research focuses on designing new materials and processes at the molecular level. Statistical thermodynamics provides the formalism for understanding how molecular interactions lead to the observed collective behavior at the macroscale. This course will develop a molecular-level understanding of key thermodynamic quantities like heat, work, free energy and entropy. These concepts will be applied in understanding several important engineering and biological applications.
此課程適用人群：This advanced undergraduate course provides a molecular-level understanding of thermodynamics and covers the application of statistical thermodynamics to several important engineering and biological systems.

評分和審閱
Not bad, but would be better if the course could explain more on the details.
Great experience
This course is advanced level stuff.You got to have high understanding of probability distributions and also a lot of integral calculus is required.
