Distributions

Why is it interesting?

Distribution functions describe the energies of particles in a system depending on its temperature. Even in systems which appear to be at a single temperature, such as the particles in air, some will be moving faster or slower than others. Understanding the distribution function is important for evaluating microscopic and macroscopic properties of a thermodynamic system.

Layman?

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
