PHYS 4371. Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics. 3 Hours.
Students study foundational concepts of classical thermodynamics, including the first and second laws, properties of gases, entropy, and thermodynamic functions. These concepts are formally connected to and derived from their origins in statistical mechanics. Completion of Differential Equations (MATH 3376) is recommended, though it may be taken concurrently.
Prerequisite: PHYS 3391 and MATH 3376.
