Description
This undergraduate text presents the core topics in thermal physics, using the problem-based learning approach. The book has combined the aim of promoting understanding through problem solving and, by putting many of the problems in traditional examination form, providing exam preparation. The author begins with a summary of the more important basic concepts, and establishes basic terminology and outlook before examining each of the core areas in subsequent chapters.
