    Contents:
    Equilibrium. Philosophy of thermodynamics -- Thermodynamic states, variables & quantities -- Zeroth law & thermodynamic equilibrium -- Energy. Molecular energy, internal energy, & temperature -- Beltzmann distribution & the kinetic model -- Thermodynamic change. First law & thermodynamic change -- Work, heat, & reversible change -- Partial derivative quantities -- Entropy. Entropy & information theory -- Entropy & ideal gas -- Second law & spontaneous irreversible change -- Third law, Carnot cycle, & absolute entropy -- Free energy.
