Thermodynamics and the Kinetic Theory of Gases: Volume 3 of Pauli Lectures on Physics
Customer Reviews:
Lectures by a great master.
By henrique fleming - December 20, 2001Max Born, who knew both, rated Pauli as good as Einstein. I don't agree, but, OK, it's a nice compliment! Anyway, Pauli was really great, and a great writer, in this case far surpassing Einstein. These are his lectures (mostly) on Thermodynamics at the ETH, Zurich, which, by the way, was Einstein's alma mater.
Pauli lectured on all of theoretical phyisics there, for several years. He was revered, and the students carefully took notes of whatever he said and write. These notes were then carefully edited by senior colleagues, like Charles Enz. The result was a slim, compact, wonderful text of Carnot-cycle thermodynamics which has even some originality: the master deemed it necessary to reformulate the treatment of chemical equilibrium (using van't Hoof boxes)to reach his standards of excellence.
This is not a text-book on thermodynamics for beginners: it is a
exquisite booklet to polish your understanding and reveal the great elegance and depth of the thermodynamical... read more
Not for the faint hearted
By Raghuram Krishnaswamy "The Review Quill" - September 23, 2008OK, having said that, here's a caveat. It says lectures. Don't expect WP to "teach" you physics. These books are stuffed with equations and WP begins his lectures without preamble and starts to write equations. You ought to have had a great deal of calculus to wade through his backyard. Its not easy but when you start to read it, you also notice that this guy makes precise his lectures. No wishy washy way of telling you of physical reality. It is there, Pauli sees it and tells you the equation for it and takes it from there.
I do not agree with the other person who thinks WP is not as good as Einstein. Einstein once answered to someone that he thought that W. Pauli is the only one he can think of as his succesor. Besides do not forget that if Sommerfeld felt that Pauli was not VERY good, he would not have had him contribute to the Mathematical Encylopedia at age 20! He wrote a full blown account of the Special and General theories for Goettingen's Math encyclopedia in 1920... read more
