This lecture introduces the concept of simple systems and their state variables, such as entropy and volume. It covers the fundamental relations in thermodynamics, including the Gibbs-Duhem relation and transformations of Legendre. The lecture also explores the concept of energy balance and the relationships between different thermodynamic properties.
