Abstract
Classical thermodynamics is developed in a rigorous and quite general form. The approach is similar to Carathéodory's in that entropy and temperature are defined in terms of quantities which are more directly measurable, but Pfaffian forms and quasistatic processes do not appear. The mathematics used is elementary, apart from a small amount of symbolic logic and a very little topology.Keywords
