Thermodynamics: A Modern Approach de Hal Tasaki

Thermodynamics: A Modern Approach

Autor Hal Tasaki, Glenn Paquette
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iul 2026
Thermodynamics is a field of very broad application, being of fundamental importance in physics, chemistry and related areas of engineering. This book presents a novel treatment of thermodynamics that is more rigorous, more complete and easier to understand than the conventional treatments presented in typical textbooks.Beginning with a few assumptions based on empirical results, the entire theoretical framework of thermodynamics is derived in an intuitively clear, logical manner, leaving no important questions unanswered. Each step in the construction of this theoretical framework is grounded in clearly explained physical considerations.The book also presents philosophical discussions that elucidate fundamental points of science and clarify the status of thermodynamics within science as a whole.Aimed at undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, engineering and related areas, the book includes numerous exercises to provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental theory and its applications.

Recenzii

Extremely well written and with beautiful illustrations and at a high pedagogical level. A difficult book to put down.

Notă biografică

Hal Tasaki received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 1986. After spending two years as a postdoc with Professor Elliott Lieb at Princeton University, he settled at Gakushuin University, where he has been a professor since 1999. He received the Kubo Memorial Prize in 1997 and the Nishina Memorial Prize in 2025 for his contributions to the mathematical-physical studies of quantum many-body systems. He has been an Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Statistical Physics (JSP) since 2018, an editor of two series on mathematical physics from Springer, and an executive committee member of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP) since 2024.Glenn Paquette received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992. He went on to hold faculty and research positions at Kyoto University in the Department of Physics and the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. He is presently a freelance physicist.
