Modeling Thermodynamic Distance, Curvature and Fluctuations A Geometric Approach /

This textbook aims to briefly outline the main directions in which the geometrization of thermodynamics has been developed in the last decades. The textbook is accessible to people trained in thermal sciences but not necessarily with solid formation in mathematics. For this, in the first chapters a...
