Striving to explore the subject in as simple a manner as possible,
this book helps readers understand the elusive concept of entropy.
Innovative aspects of the book include the construction of
statistical entropy from desired properties, the derivation of the
entropy of classical systems from purely classical assumptions, and
a statistical thermodynamics approach to the ideal Fermi and ideal
Bose gases. Derivations are worked through step-by-step and
important applications are highlighted in over 20 worked examples.
Around 50 end-of-chapter exercises test readers' understanding. The
book also features a glossary giving definitions for all essential
terms, a time line showing important developments, and list of
books for further study. It is an ideal supplement to undergraduate
courses in physics, engineering, chemistry and mathematics.
