Thermodynamics

The original text of this volume is that of the first four chapters of the book "Problems and Solutions in Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics" itself one of the "University Series" published by the Shokabo Publishing Company. Although the last part of the original book was translated first and published as "Statistical Mechanics-An Advanced Course with Problems and Solutions" (North-Holland Publ. Co., 1965), the present volume should be regarded as the first volume of the whole work.
