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.

Review text

Summary: The entropy of classical thermodynamics is uniquely determined by the relation of adiabatical accessibility between equilibrium states of thermodynamical systems. This review outlines the logical path leading to this result and the challenges that have to be faced on the way. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1491.46003].
