Book Description:

Places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. This book suggests that many physicists and engineers who have developed the theory of thermodynamics seem to have forgotten that mathematics, when used rigorously, is the irrefutable pathway to truth.
