Statistical mechanics
Statistical mechanics is the application of
statistics, which includes
mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles or objects when subjected to a force.
It provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic or bulk properties of materials that can be observed in everyday life, therefore explaining
thermodynamics as a natural result of statistics and mechanics at
