Looking for a thermodynamics review for graduate stat mech

[mjordan2nd]

Hello,

I've forgotten much of what I learned in my undergraduate thermal physics class. This is unfortunate, as my statistical mechanics class just builds on those concepts, especially the differential relationships between various state variables. I was wondering if someone could link me to a good, brief review of the key concepts that I will need from thermal physics for my graduate statistical mechanics course.

Thanks

From what I hear Callen Is the best book for classical thermodynamics:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471862568/?tag=pfamazon01-20

However it's quite in-depth and not quite the quick review you asked for. The lecture notes from Notre Dame's engineering seem to be pretty good and easy to read.
