Synopsis
A thorough exploration of the universal principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, this volume takes an applications-oriented approach to a multitude of situations arising in physics and engineering. Students can supplement their understanding by working through the text's numerous exercises. 1987 edition., A thorough exploration of the universal principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, this volume explains the applications of these essential rules to a multitude of situations arising in physics and engineering. It develops their use in a variety of circumstances--including those involving gases, crystals, and magnets--in order to illustrate general methods of analysis and to provide readers with all the necessary background to continue in greater depth with specific topics. Author D. F. Lawden has considerable experience in teaching this subject to university students of varied abilities and backgrounds. Well acquainted with which concepts and arguments sometimes prove problematic, he presents the potentially difficult sections with particular care. Students can supplement their understanding by working through the numerous exercises which appear throughout the text. Mathematical physicists will find this volume of particular value, as will engineers requiring a basic but comprehensive introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

- 9***r (79)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis 1943 hardcover Dragonwyck book by Anya Seton is as described. This book is in very good shape for its age. There is no dust cover but this was expected by the description and photo. It arrived today safely. Seller carefully packaged this delicate book to protect it from harm. This is a quality old book and it was a good value. Shipping was free, which was an added bonus. Looking forward to reading this historical romance. Would definitely recommend this seller.
- l***o (79)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs described was used, but it was like new. If it weren't for the GREAT packaging this P-38 would have been toast. The box was totaled on one end!!! Shipping was excellent. Fast and free is hard to beat. Value was exceptional...5 Stars for all ratings. Thank you.
