Statistical Mechanics and Molecular Simulation
Statistical mechanics is the description of physical phenomena in terms of a statistical treatment of the behavior of large numbers of atoms or molecules, especially with regard to the distribution of energy among them. Statistical mechanics can be combined with powerful computing capacity to simulate the behavior of complex molecules.
