PHY 303 - Thermodynamics

What is the nature of heat? And what is its effect on various types of substances? In this course we will engage in a systematic study of the science of thermodynamics. In particular, we will aim at a deeper understanding of concepts such as temperature, energy, and entropy, and of the most common phases of matter: solids, liquids and gasses. This course is cross-listed with CHE 341. 3 lec.
