A Direct Road to Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Abstract
The entropy of classical thermodynamics is uniquely determined by the relation of adiabatical accessibilty between equilibrium states of thermodynamical systems. This review outlines the logical path leading to this results and the challenges that have to be faced on the way.
