This text gives students a clear and easily understood introduction to entropy. Professor Dugdale first presents a classical and historical view of entropy, looking in detail at the scientists who developed the concept and at how they arrived at their ideas. This is followed by a statistical treatment that provides a more physical portrait of entropy, relating it to disorder and showing how physical and chemical systems tend to states of order at low temperatures. The book includes a brief account of some of the more intriguing manifestations of order in properties such as superconductivity an...
This text gives students a clear and easily understood introduction to entropy. Professor Dugdale first presents a classical and historical view of entropy, looking in detail at the scientists who developed the concept and at how they arrived at their ideas. This is followed by a statistical treatment that provides a more physical portrait of entropy, relating it to disorder and showing how physical and chemical systems tend to states of order at low temperatures. The book includes a brief account of some of the more intriguing manifestations of order in properties such as superconductivity and superfluidity. It also includes a number of exercises that can be used for both self- learning and class work.
