Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria

This course, based on MATSCI 204 Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria , introduces learners to thermodynamics and and how it governs phase equilibria. It is intended for a general audience, and is especially useful as a preparatory course for undergarduate and graduate students who are about to take their first class in thermodynamics.

The course reviews concepts including the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics; entropy; equilibrium for isolated systems; materials properties; and continues to review phase equilbria.
