Highlights: A set of 23 problems appropriate for homework emphasizing modeling in helping to understanding the statistical approach to thermodynamics.
Abstract: This collection of problems focuses attention on the role, value of, and limitations of simple models in physics and biology. This set focuses on the use of toy models to understand basic issues in thermodynamics from a statistical point of view including entropy and free energy. There are also problems related to fluctuations and the Boltzmann factor and their role in biological systems.
