From the course guide. In this course on thermodynamics, you will study a subject that connects deep and fundamental insights from the atomic scale of the world all the way to the highly applied. Thermodynamics has been pivotal for most of the technologies that have completely revolutionized the world over the past 500 years. The word "thermodynamics" means "heat in motion," and without an understanding of heat, our ability to make science practical is extremely limited. Heat is, of course, everywhere, and putting heat into motion was at the core of the industrial revolution and the beginning of our modern age. The transformation of energy of all forms into, and from, heat is at the core of the energy revolution and fundamentally what makes human civilization thrive today. [...] In this course, you will learn how the four laws of thermodynamics will continue to provide the foundation of science technology into the future, for any single aspect of our lives where a material is important (pages 1-4).
