Statistical Mechanics - The Boltzmann distribution

Professor Susskind completes the derivation of the Boltzman distribution of states of a system. This distribution describes a system in equilibrium and with maximum entropy. He derives the formulas for energy, entropy, temperature, and the partition function for this distribution. He then applies these general formulas to the example of an ideal gas.
