作者簡介
作者：（美國）貝爾雷（Ralph Baierlein）內容簡介
《熱物理學》內容簡介：Several aims guided me while I wrote. My first goal was to build from the familiar to the abstract and still get to entropy, conceived microscopically, in the second chapter. I sought to keep the book crisp and lean: derivations were to be succinct and simple; topics were to be those essential for physics and astronomy. From the professor's perspective, a semester is a short time, and few undergraduate curricula can devote more than a semester to thermal physics.目錄
