Book I will follow (That will be your lecture notes) TEXTBOOK OF MATERIALS AND METALLURGICAL THERMODYNAMICS -Ahindra Ghosh ISBN: 978-81-203-2091-8, PHI Learning This book will be your lecture notes as well. I will follow this book chapter by chapter. I will provide the lecture notes (in PDF) chapter by chapter.
Additional Reading 1. Introduction to thermodynamics of materials by David R Gaskell 2. Chemical thermodynamics for metals and materials by Hae-Geon Lee These books are to be used as reference books, and for additional reading if you feel necessary.
Rules to follow • Switch off cell phones in class. • Please come to class on time. • Please attend all lectures because I will teach a lot of tips and calculation tricks which you wont find in any book!! And trust m e you need the tricks to pass the exam s. ;) • Submit assignments on time. You lose 10% mark for each late day. • Attend tutorials if you want to do well on your assignments. • No copying of assignments. ( You can discuss and work in groups but don’t copy) • Cheat sheet allowed for midterm and final exam. • Most importantly enjoy the class and have fun!
Importance of thermodynamics • Very fundamental course and is the foundation for your future courses in MSE. • The course is difficult, and we have to make sure you understand the concepts. • Don’t be shy , please ask questions if you don’t understand a specific topic. I am here to help you and make sure you do good
Important Dates • First Assignment Due- 18 th Sept 2014 • Second Assignment Due- 25 th Sept 2014 • Third Assignment Due – 7 th Oct 2014 • MID TERM – 16 th Oct 2014 • Fourth Assignment Due-4 th Nov 2014 • Fifth Assignment Due – 20 th Nov 2014
