Carefully observing everyday motion allows us to deduce six essential statements everyday motion is continuous, conserved, relative, reversible, mirrorinvariant and lazy. This text explores how these six results are deduced and how they fit with all those observations that seem to contradict them.

The objective of this course note is to survey practical and theoretical problems in classical thermodynamics. Topics covered includes Thermodynamic system and control volume, Properties and state of a substance, Properties of a pure substance, Work and heat, The first law of thermodynamics, First law analysis for a control volume, The second law of thermodynamics, Entropy, Second law analysis for a control volume, Cycles, Mathematical foundations.
