Four fundamental laws of thermodynamics;
Thermodynamics potentials;
Phase transitions;

Stability;

In some sense, thermodynamics is a theory that deals with black boxes. We deal with a large collection of one type of serveral types of particles. Then we manipulate some properties of the system and observing the changes.
