After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work...
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained from a macroscopic perspective, while also providing its microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how the first and second laws of thermodynamics came to be formulated.

From there, we will look at various applications: cycles, ideal and real gases, etc.

With the introduction of phase changes, examples (critical point) will be discussed.
We will conclude with thermal phenomena: primarily diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be discussed.

The purpose of this Solid Mechanics course is to study articulated systems composed of rigid solids by examining their motions and equilibrium positions. Topics covered include velocity fields in solids, the classification of joints, and internal forces. Graphical methods of kinematics and statics are also used.
