Simulating and understanding phase change | Guest video by Vilas Winstein

About This Tutorial

Deriving the Boltzmann formula, defining temperature, and simulating liquid/vapor. has the second part: You can play with a simulation of this model here: These lessons are funded directly by viewers: 1) This open problem is to prove the ergodicity of the deterministic dynamical systems that are used to model the molecule-level physics. A good example of such a dynamical system is the box with particles evolving according to Newton's laws with elastic collisions, like in the video. 2) This video assumes that all probability distributions are discrete, which is the case in the simulations.
