About the Course

Course 1 first explores the basics of both macroscopic and microscopic thermodynamics from a postulatory point of view. In this view, the meaning of temperature, thermodynamic pressure and chemical potential are especially clear and easy to understand. In addition , the development of the Fundamental Relation and its various transformations leads to a clear path to property relations and to the concept of ensembles needed to understand the relationship between atomic and molecular structural properties and macroscopic properties. We then explore the relationship between atomic and molecular structure and macroscopic properties by taking a statistical point of view. Using a postulatory approach, the method for doing this is made clear. This leads to the development of the partition function which describes the distribution of molecular quantum states as a function of the independent, macroscopic thermodynamic properties....

Sublime Course with very good presentations , obviously requires basic understanding to go through the course , must do for a mechanical student if aiming for higher studies

Very Much interesting and Problem solving is the challenging. Need some more references in solving Problems. Which will help the learners concentrate more.

Creo que la materia fue muy interesante, me sirvió mucho el texto guía pero las preguntas de

los cuestionarios no eran las mas adecuadas, ya que tenían problemas con las respuestas y se podían interpretar de distintas formas

It is an advanced level course and require quite pre knowledge of the basic concepts for total understanding

Slides don't offer enough content to do the assignments. In the first course there is a peer graded assignments that takes weeks to get a review which means more money you need to pay just to get the assignment graded (robbery).

The course needs to provide some reference material for problem solving since the quizzes and discussion problems are majorly assignment based.

I found the course very interesting, but quite confusing at times. Having some solved problems would help a lot.
