A Concise Introduction to Thermodynamics for Physicists Faisca Patricia
This introductory textbook provides a synthetic overview of the laws and formal aspects of thermodynamics and was designed for undergraduate students in physics, and in the physical sciences. focused on macroscopic physics), emphasis is placed on the microscopic underlying model to facilitate the understanding of key concepts such as entropy, and motivate a future course on statistical physics.This book will equip the reader with an understanding of the scope of this discipline and of its applications to a variety of physical systemsThroughout the text readers are continuously challenged with conceptual questions that prompt reflection and facilitate the understanding of subtle issues. Language and notation have been kept as simple as possible throughout the text.While this is a self-contained text on thermodynamics (i.e.
