Are they different in any significant ways? Are they frequently confusing?
For whatever reason, I find pchem books somewhat hard to read (for now) because something with the notation is confusing me. Statistical Mechanics books are much more readable. Okay, for some reason, I understand things much faster if the concepts of extensive and intensive quantities are first differentiated from each other
Although I first learned my thermo from atmospheric science, and I've only really realized that their notation is horribly confusing.
