Usually I can see what the "aim" is of a certain field of physics. For classical mechanics it is to find the position as a function of time through Newton's law (or similar equations), for quantum mechanics it is to find the wave function by using the Schrodinger equation and for electrodynamics we seek to find electric and magnetic fields through the Maxwell equations. However, I do not yet see such a description for thermodynamics. What is it we hope to achieve by doing thermodynamics and can this be formulated in a way I did for other branches of physics?
