Purpose and description of the content of education:
The goal of the lecture is to introduce students to the description of the dynamics of complex systems consisting of a macroscopic number of degrees of freedom using theory of probability and statistics, as well as a microscopic derivation of the phenomenological laws of thermodynamics. The aim of the classes is to acquire skills in the analysis of complex systems based on the content presented in the lecture.
