Everything on the planet is run by energy. Thermodynamics is the study of what form this energy takes and how it flows and in physics, it can help us predict how systems react to stimuli and how energy transfers during collisions. This includes studying thermal equilibrium, calorimetry, the laws of thermodynamics, and more. Thermodynamics governs just about every action in physics! You'll learn both conceptually and mathematically how to represent these processes and predict changes in systems and surroundings.
