Classical and Geometrical Theory of Chemical and Phase Thermodynamics : a Non-Calculus Based Approach.
Because it is grounded in math, chemical thermodynamics is often perceived as a difficult subject and many students are never fully comfortable with it. The first authoritative textbook presentation of equilibrium chemical and phase thermodynamics in a reformulated geometrical framework, Chemical an...
