After some minor pieces of theoretical study that I worked on, a student in my statistical mechanics class brought to my attention a problem in polyelectrolytes. Rudolph A. Marcus
According to Gibbs, the term "statistical", in the context of mechanics, i.e. statistical mechanics, was first used by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1871. Source: Internet
A microscopic interpretation of these concepts was provided by the development of statistical mechanics. Source: Internet
By some definitions, statistical physics is an even broader term which statistically studies any type of physical system, but is often taken to be synonymous with statistical mechanics. Source: Internet
Calculations in statistical mechanics rely on probabilistic arguments, which are sensitive to whether or not the objects being studied are identical. Source: Internet
Describing a system using statistical mechanics methods is much simpler than using a low-level atomistic approach. Source: Internet
