This collection includes all the programs used in the text Statistical and Thermal Physics: With Computer Applications, 2nd ed., Harvey Gould and Jan Tobochnik, Princeton University Press (2021). Topics covered include thermal physics, probability, statistical mechanics of classical and quantum gasses and liquids, critical phenomena, and time-dependence.
The programs use the Open Source Physics (OSP) library, created by Wolfgang Christian and supported by many other collaborators. Each program is converted from Java to Javascript using SwingJS so it can be run in a browser on any device.
