We’re happy to announce the launch of a new course on the edX platform: 3.012Tx Thermodynamics of Materials. This is our core undergraduate course in thermodynamics, adapted from 3.012 as taught by Prof. Jaramillo since 2015. We hope it becomes a useful learning resource for students worldwide.
As chance would have it, MIT course 3.012 is being replaced this year by two new courses, 3.010 Structure of Materials and 3.020 Thermodynamics of Materials. The new course on edX is very similar to what we plan for 3.020. The only substantial difference is that 3.020 will include units on statistical thermodynamics, which 3.012 and 3.012Tx do not.
