Teaching Classical Statistical Mechanics: A Simulation Approach.
Sauer, G.
American Journal of Physics, v49 n1 p13-19 Jan 1981
Describes a one-dimensional model for an ideal gas to study development of disordered motion in Newtonian mechanics. A Monte Carlo procedure for simulation of the statistical ensemble of an ideal gas with fixed total energy is developed. Compares both approaches for a pseudoexperimental foundation of statistical mechanics. (Author/JN)
