Can someone give me hard thermodynamics problems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the completion of the first four chapters of "Thermodynamics of Materials" by Gaskell, which cover the first law, second law, statistical interpretation, and an introduction to thermodynamics. The user expresses enjoyment in solving related exercises and seeks additional fun problems to further explore these topics. Recommendations include referring to "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Moran and colleagues for more problem-solving opportunities.

I finished first four chapters of Gaskell Thermodynamics of Materials and finished all exercises. Those 4 chapters are: first law, second law and statistical interpretation and introduction. Can someone give me fun problems to solve on these topics. I am really having fun solving those problems.

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
