This lecture covers the concept of thermodynamic potentials, including Helmholtz free energy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy. It explains the relationship between mechanical and thermodynamic systems, Legendre transforms, and the minimization of thermodynamic potentials. The lecture also delves into the curvature of functions and the link between mechanics and thermodynamics.
