We can model lots of things in the world as a collection of particles -- air, magnets, and even light! Statistical mechanics is a tool physicist use to understand complex systems from the air around us and stars to Bose-Einstein condensates and Fermi gases. We'll go through the microcanonical and canonical ensemble models and try to derive basic thermodynamics, the ideal gas law, and the Stefan-Boltzmann law!
