Eight Lectures On Theoretical Physics: Delivered At Columbia University In 1909, Issue 6

Renowned physicist Max Planck presents a series of insightful lectures that delve into key concepts of theoretical physics. Topics include the principles of reversibility and irreversibility, thermodynamic equilibrium in dilute solutions, and the atomistic theory of matter. Planck also explores the equation of state for monatomic gases, radiation, electrodynamics, statistical theory, the principle of least work, and the principle of relativity, making complex ideas accessible to readers interested in the foundations of modern physics.
