Beschreibung
This introductory textbook for standard undergraduate courses in thermodynamics has been completely rewritten. Starting with an overview of important quantum behaviours, the book teaches students how to calculate probabilities, in order to provide a firm foundation for later chapters. It introduces the ideas of classical thermodynamics and explores them both in general and as they are applied to specific processes and interactions. The remainder of the book deals with statistical mechanics - the study of small systems interacting with huge reservoirs. The changes to this second edition have been made after more than 10 years classroom testing and student feedback. Each topic ends with a boxed summary of ideas and results, and every chapter contains numerous homework problems, covering a broad range of difficulties. Answers are given to odd numbered problems, and solutions to even problems are available to instructors at [...]

Zusammenfassung
This introductory textbook for standard undergraduate courses in thermodynamics has been completely rewritten, following more than 10 years classroom testing and feedback. After providing the foundations, the author introduces the ideas of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics using a modern approach and a light style. Each topic ends with a boxed summary of ideas and results, and chapters contain many homework problems, covering a broad range of difficulties. Answers are given to half of the problems; solutions to the remaining problems are available to instructors at [...]
