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 summary of the main mathematical concepts is made. In some sense, this makes the textbook self-consistent. The rest of the textbook consists of a collection of results previously obtained in this young branch of thermodynamics. The manner of presentation used throughout the textbook is adapted for ease of access of readers with education in natural and technical sciences. 000755522 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 24, 2016). 000755522 650_0 $$aThermodynamics$$xMathematical models. 000755522 830_0 $$aUnderstanding complex systems. 000755522 830_0 $$aSpringer complexity. 000755522 852__ $$bebk 000755522 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-33789-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755522 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755522$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755522 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755522 980__ $$aBIB 000755522 982__ $$aEbook 000755522 983__ $$aOnline 000755522 994__ $$a92$$bISE
