Title Student's guide to entropy Author(s) Don S. Lemons Publication Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013. Description xi, 181p. Abstract Note Striving to explore the subject in as simple a manner as possible, this book helps readers understand the elusive concept of entropy. Innovative aspects of the book include the construction of statistical entropy from desired properties, the derivation of the entropy of classical systems from purely classical assumptions, and a statistical thermodynamics approach to the ideal Fermi and ideal Bose gases. Derivations are worked through step-by-step and important applications are highlighted in over 20 worked examples. Around 50 end-of-chapter exercises test readers' understanding. The book also features a glossary giving definitions for all essential terms, a time line showing important developments, and list of books for further study. It is an ideal supplement to undergraduate courses in physics, engineering, chemistry and mathematics. ISBN,Price 9781107011564 : UKP 45.00(HB) Classification 536.75 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2.
