Lecture 04, concept 12: Deriving the Boltzmann distribution - general case

[@jasmith007]

This was a very insightful derivation. Thanks Prof.

[@outroutono4937]

VERY helpfull. Concised with really good examples.

[@MrGiuse72]

clever thank you. Well posed well explained . Very good to go straight to the point instead of those count-all-the-states derivations with no explanation of what's behind the math !!

Thanks a lot! I have a question. Why dS/dE=1/T? How do we know it is 1/constant?

thanx it really help

[@dangbrahh]

Cool derivering. Undrar bara hur man kan rättfärdiga att S helt plötsligt är entropin?. Tack

Thank you

[@MrGiuse72]

do you have references to books or articles where I can find more of these non-rigorous / straight-to-meaning arguments ? please ? regarding...statistical mechanics

second derivative is ZERO no need to talk about big systems

[@eriklindahl]

If you want to argue that the second derivative of a general function we introduce (without assuming anything about it) is zero, that's something you would have to prove.
