About the Book

This course text provides an accessible introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, at a level that is suitable for both physics and engineering majors. Concepts are approached in a pedagogical way, using precise language, clear explanations and discussions of how the ideas developed over time. All of the material required for a one-semester (14-week) course in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics is provided, alongside worked examples, concept questions, worksheets, and independent-study exercises. The material has been thoroughly class-tested and acts as a core text for undergraduate courses, particularly for students who find the topics challenging. It also acts as valuable supplementary reading for postgraduates who would benefit from the supplementary material and clear explanations of the concepts. Key features Provides an accessible introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.  Suitable for mixed classes of physics and engineering majors. Acts as a core text for undergraduate courses, particularly for students who find the topics challenging. Introduces concepts with stories by key physicists, providing a historical perspective on how the concepts were developed. Includes worked examples, concept questions, worksheets and independent-study exercises.

Review :
Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics is one of the key subjects in the education of physicists and engineers. The ideas and concepts derived from its learning are applicable to numerous disciplines and are of a rather universal nature. Some ideas are simple, but often times obscure to understand with clarity. The main purpose of this new textbook is precisely to provide an accessible introduction to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, mainly oriented for undergraduate students in both physics and engineering degrees. From the beginning, the reader can clearly notice the author’s effort to use simple and clear concepts in a fairly pedagogical way, paying close attention to the language used, to clarify concepts and explanations, and showing how these ideas were developed over time. In short, the textbook can be used for a standard undergraduate-level course in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, for physics or engineering students, with an appropriate selection of the topics depending on the level and duration of the course.
