3. This initial textbook offers a composite survey of the principles and formal aspects of heat science and was tailored for undergraduate students in physics, and in the natural sciences. Language and symbols have been kept as straightforward as feasible throughout the manuscript.

   Despite being a self-contained manuscript on heat science (i.e. focused on macroscopic physics), importance is placed on the microscopic fundamental model to facilitate the comprehension of pivotal concepts such as entropy, and to motivate a potential course on statistical physics.

   This manuscript will furnish the reader with an understanding of the breadth of this domain and of its applications to a wide range of physical systems.

   Throughout the manuscript, readers are consistently confronted with conceptual inquiries that encourage contemplation and facilitate the understanding of intricate matters. Each chapter concludes by presenting solved exercises to aid and motivate self-study, as well as a series of suggested drills whose solutions are available as supplementary material.

   Characteristics

   • Educationally designed, including illustrations, keyword definitions, highlights, summarizations of key notions and concepts, and containers with supplementary subjects that complement the materials presented in the main manuscript.
   • Introduces vigorous learning techniques, such as conceptual exercises, discussion topics, solved examples with annotations, end-of-chapter exercises, and further reading to provoke engagement with the manuscript.
   • Directs the reader with ease through a challenging subject by furnishing additional assistance whenever necessary to overcome the more demanding technical and conceptual matters.
