"This book provides an accessible yet thorough introduction to thermodynamics, crafted and class-tested over many years of teaching. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this book delivers clear descriptions of how to think about the mathematics and physics involved. The content has been carefully developed in consultation with a large number of instructors, teaching courses worldwide, toensure wide applicability to modules on thermodynamics. Modern applications of thermodynamics (in physics and related areas) are included throughout--something not offered to the same degree by existing texts in the field."--Provided by publisher.Abstract: "This book provides an accessible yet thorough introduction to thermodynamics, crafted and class-tested over many years of teaching.
