Primary Text
The primary source of material will come from the lecture notes. You should print out the lecture notes before coming to class, or make your own notes and combine them with the printed lecture notes.
Last year I used a classical textbook by Denbigh [3] in this course to supplement the lecture material. The students didn't like it because Denbigh is a bit advanced for a first thermodynamics course, but it is the best thermodynamics book that I know of. It is rigorous and descriptive. It will be a useful reference for you in the future as well as this class--I would encourage you to get your hands on a copy.
Additional Reference Material
In the first part of this course, it might also be useful for you to browse through the classic monograph by Fermi [5]. It is a classic introduction to the fundamentals of thermodynamics--it is also a bargain. The coverage in Fermi is generic and applicable to all branches of physics and engineering. Concepts that are specific to materials science will be covered in the lectures.
It is very useful to take a look at one or two of the hundreds of other thermodynamics texts.8Everyone learns in different ways and you may find one that is particularly suitable for you. Perhaps the reason that there are so many thermodynamics texts is that few people agree on the best way to explain the material. You will find that notation varies considerably from book to book (and sometimes even within a single text). You can often learn just by sorting out differences in notation--after all, it is only the subject material that counts. You will learn even more if you study the different ways that similar subject material is developed. You will begin to master the subject when you start identifying the conceptual errors that exist in nearly every textbook.
Gaskell [6] and Devereux [4] are widely used in Materials Sciences courses at other good universities. Gaskell, in particular, is full of practical worked problems for materials scientists. Keep in mind that notation varies from textbook to textbook; nevertheless, these books may help clarify complicated topics and provide additional practical problems.
Statistical Physics from the Landau and Lifshitz [8] series is an excellent advanced treatise on both classical and statistical thermodynamics. It is ponderous, but is a good investment if you find yourself needing more thermo.
Denbigh [3] is perhaps the most complete textbook on chemical equilibrium. It is dense but very well-written. The introductory book by Bent [1] has a number of very clear examples and historical anecdotes, I used it very often while preparing lectures.
Besides Fermi [5], Planck [9] also wrote short and very readable introductory treatises on thermodynamics. Shrodinger has a very nice (but perhaps too advanced for this course) introduction to statistical thermodynamics [10] that is also a bargain. You probably associate these authors with other topics--their interest in the formulation of thermodynamics demonstrates the importance that most professional scientists place on a coherent understanding of thermodynamics as a foundation for advanced study. Chandrasekhar [2] devoted an entire chapter of his book on Stellar Structure to the differential geometry of the second law of thermodynamics. The most complete and fundamental development of thermodynamics is a single paper by J. Willard Gibbs [7]. Even though it is very difficult to read, Gibbs is the quintessential reference in thermodynamics. I've tried to use Gibbs as much as possible when I prepared the lectures.
You should have a good book on multivariable calculus. MIT's 18.02 is a prerequisite for this course.
