This book provides a complete and accurate atomic level statistical
mechanical explanation of entropy and the second law of
thermodynamics. It assumes only a basic knowledge of mechanics and
requires no knowledge of calculus. The treatment uses primarily
geometric arguments and college level algebra. Quantitative
examples are given at each stage to buttress physical
understanding. This text is of benefit to undergraduate and
graduate students, as well as educators and researchers in the
physical sciences (whether or not they have taken a thermodynamics
course) who want to understand or teach the atomic/molecular
origins of entropy and the second law. It is particularly aimed at
those who, due to insufficient mathematical background or because
of their area of study, are not going to take a traditional
statistical mechanics course.
