What happens to the probabilities of different macrostates when the systems become large?

Lecture notes

Video with recap of two-state models, Einstein crystals and coupled Einstein crystals.

 

Video and handwritten notes on the binomial coefficient

1 Simplify exp[N ln(a) – ln(b)]

A) Cannot be simplified.  B) aN/b     C) aN b      D) N+a+b          E) aN – b

Video and handwritten notes on finding an approximation to the binomial distribution for large systems.

2 Consider  (q+N)!/q! for the case q>>N.  If you wrote out all the factors, and cancelled as much as you could, how many factors would be left?

A) q factors       B) N factors       C) (q+N) factors   D) None of these.
