Summary

The subject contains the knowledges of phenomenological and statistical thermodynamics and their detailed mathematical description. In the part of phenomenological thermodynamics are discused the basic lows of thermodynamics, description of thermodynamic state of system, properties of thermodynamics proceses and system of several components. In the part of statistical thermodynamics are discused the properties of statistical ensembles and clasical and quantum distributions.
