In this clear and concise introduction to thermodynamics and
statistical mechanics the reader, who will have some previous
exposure to thermodynamics, will be guided through each of the two
disciplines separately initially to provide an in-depth
understanding of the area and thereafter the connection between the
two is presented and discussed.
In addition, mathematical techniques are introduced at appropriate times, highlighting such use as: exact and inexact differentials, partial derivatives, Caratheodory's theorem, Legendre transformation, and combinatory analysis.
* Emphasis is placed equally on fundamentals and applications
* Several problems are included
