Features: This book is a supplementary textbook for the second edition of "Introduction to General Physics. Thermodynamics" (authored by Qin Yunhao), a 21st-century curriculum textbook. Each chapter of this book is basically composed of four parts: (1) Basic concepts and requirements; (2) Problem-solving guidance and exercise solutions; (3) Additional exercises and their solutions; (4) Suggested answers and reference solutions for thought questions. The entire book provides problem-solving guidance for approximately 220 exercises and 140 thought questions. Many of the exercises in this book are selected from the examination papers of top universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, the former Soviet Union, and domestic graduate entrance examinations. Most of the thought questions are a summary and accumulation of the author's teaching experience over the past 40 years, with many of them having been used as midterm and final examination questions, while a few have been used as graduate entrance examination questions. This book provides solutions for most of the exercises in the second edition of "Introduction to General Physics. Thermodynamics," along with detailed analysis and guidance on problem-solving methods. Additionally, the book supplements a small number of more challenging exercises. It also provides detailed hints, analysis, and reference solutions for most of the thought questions in the second edition of "Introduction to General Physics. Thermodynamics," which is a key feature of this book. This book can serve as a reference for teachers and students using the second edition of "Introduction to General Physics. Thermodynamics," and is also suitable for teachers and students using general physics textbooks. It may also provide some guidance for students preparing for graduate entrance examinations.
