This lecture introduces the basics of classical physics, focusing on thermodynamics as the study of energy transformations in systems. Topics include gas laws, work, heat, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The course covers statistical mechanics, Carnot and Stirling engines, entropy, phase transitions, and irreversible processes.
