A method and apparatus for thermally analyzing a sample of a material by detecting a heat flow between the sample and a heat source ( ) and ,evaluating a functional relation between the measured heat flow and an associated temperature is based on controlling the heating power of the heat source ( ) so as to cause the heat source to follow a temperature program (T ) as a function of time superposed with a stochastic variation (F ), (FIG. ).
