Textbook Description:
Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, 2nd Edition by Herbert B. Callen
The only text to cover both thermodynamic and statistical mechanics--allowing students to fully master thermodynamics at the macroscopic level. Presents essential ideas on critical phenomena developed over the last decade in simple, qualitative terms. This new edition maintains the simple structure of the first and puts new emphasis on pedagogical considerations. Thermostatistics is incorporated into the text without eclipsing macroscopic thermodynamics, and is integrated into the conceptual framework of physical theory
H. B. Callen offers a fascinating and insightful postulational approach to thermodynamics rather than the conventional inductive approach. He targets first year graduate students and advanced undergraduates; however, even readers proficient with advanced thermodynamics should find Callen`s approach stimulating.
The text has three primary sections: General Principles of Classical Thermodynamics (200 pages), Representative Applications (65 pages), and Fluctuations and Irreversible Thermodynamics (50 pages). An extensive appendix, some 50 pages, offers a useful review of pertinent mathematics and other relevant topics.
Teaching method: This course teaches through examples. Problems are assigned for homework, and questions are welcome and worked out in class.
Course Prerequisite: Calculus, General Physics, Applied Mathematics or Equivalent and Thermodynamics as in an undergraduate physical chemistry course
Homework: Problem set assigned each week, due in class one week after assigned.
Examinations: Two hour mid-term examinations plus final examination.
