  • Statistical physics is the area of physics that uses methods of probability theory and statistics, and particularly the mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, in solving physical problems. It can describe a wide variety of fields with an inherently stochastic nature. Examples include problems involving nuclear reactions, and topics in the fields of biology, chemistry, neurology and even some social sciences such as sociology. Historically, one of the first topics in physics where statistical methods were applied was the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles or objects when subjected to a force. Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic or bulk properties of materials that can be observed in everyday life, therefore explaining thermodynamics as a natural result of statistics and mechanics at the microscopic level. Because of this history, the term "statistical physics" is therefore sometimes used as a synonym for statistical mechanics or statistical thermodynamics, rather than in the wider sense considered in this article. A statistical approach can work well in classical systems when the number of degrees of freedom (and so the number of variables) is so large that exact solution is not possible, or not really useful. Statistical mechanics can also describe work in non-linear dynamics, chaos theory, thermal physics, fluid dynamics (particularly at high Knudsen numbers), or plasma physics. Although some problems in statistical physics can be solved analytically using approximations and expansions, most current research utilizes the large processing power of modern computers to simulate or approximate solutions. A common approach to statistical problems is to use a Monte Carlo simulation to yield insight into the dynamics of a complex system.
  • Statistická fyzika je jednou z centrálních oblastí teoretické fyziky. V tradičnějším pojetí se zabývá zkoumáním vlastností makroskopických systémů či soustav, přičemž bere v úvahu mikroskopickou strukturu těchto systémů. Obecněji statistická fyzika uvádí do vztahu dvě úrovně popisu fyzikální reality - a to úroveň makroskopickou a mikroskopickou. Zakladateli byli Ludwig Boltzmann a Josiah Willard Gibbs.
  • Statistinen fysiikka eli tilastollinen fysiikka on yksi fysiikan perusteorioista. Tilastollinen fysiikka kuvaa hyvin monesta perusosasesta koostuvan järjestelmän käytöstä tilastollisten suureiden avulla. Sillä voidaan kuvailla moninaisia ilmiöitä, jopa tiettyjä biologisia, neurologisia ja sosiologisia ilmiötä. Tilastollinen fysiikka jaetaan klassiseen ja kvanttistatistiseen fysiikkaan, sekä moderniin statistiseen fysiikkaan.
  • A física estatística é o ramo da física que faz uso extensivo da estatística para analisar sistemas físicos de alta complexidade, via de regra devido a um elevado número de entes constituintes, o que dificulta ou mesmo impossibilita a análise acurada e detalhada de todos os aspectos do sistema. Por isso, certos parâmetros macroscópicos do sistema são dados em função de uma coleção imensamente grande de variáveis microscópicas. Como exemplo, temos a temperatura como uma medida da energia média tomada em relação a todas as espécies do sistema (átomos, moléculas ou íons). Relacionadas à isso, tem-se disciplinas correlatas, tais como: Termodinâmica estatística Mecânica estatística
