Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 16a – Tossing coins, microstates, and macrostates

This lecture part starts the discussion of statistical mechanics by looking at the outcomes of tossing coins, including the resulting distributions of "heads" and "tails". It also introduces the concepts of microstates, macrostates, and multiplicity. (slides)
