Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A d104-Book of Thermodynamics: With Special Reference to Chemistry
Chemical Students (methuen, references to the latter under the symbol H. M. Have been made whenever it appeared desirable. In spite of (or perhaps on account of) recent attempts to prove the contrary, I am of the opinion that no satisfactory progress can be made even in the elementary parts of thermo dynamics without a good working knowledge of the calculus.
In considering the older literature of the subject, I have not thought it necessary to give detailed references, since these will be found in any of the standard text-books of physics. The space thus made available has been utilised in an attempt to explain in greater detail some points which usually offer difficulties to the student The same applies to the numerical constants, which are to be found in the tables of landolt-bornstein, and at present are also being actively revised.
