Understanding the Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) is one of the most important principles in statistics. It states that when we take many random samples from any population—regardless of the population’s original distribution—the distribution of the sample means will approach a normal (bell-shaped) distribution as the sample size becomes large enough (usually n ≥ 30).
This phenomenon occurs even if the population itself

Fundamental Energy Systems, Radiation, and Climate Physics
1. Energy and Systems (Weeks 3–4)
- Energy is a real, quantifiable physical quantity.
- Exists in many forms: kinetic, potential, thermal, electromagnetic, nuclear, chemical, sound.
- Energy can change form, but total energy is conserved.
- Open system: exchanges both energy and mass.
- Closed system: exchanges energy only.
- Isolated system: exchanges neither energy nor mass.
- Scale and duration matter: a system may look isolated on short timescales but open on long ones.
2. Sound Energy and Intensity
- Sound energy
