Modeling Thermodynamic Distance, Curvature and Fluctuations
This textbook aims to briefly outline the main directions in which the geometrization of thermodynamics has been developed in the last decades.The textbook is accessible to people trained in thermal sciences but not necessarily with solid formation in mathematics. For this, in the first chapters a summary of the main mathematical concepts is made. In some sense,this makes the textbook self-cons…

Modeling and Analysis of Linear Hyperbolic Systems of Balance Laws
This monograph focuses on the mathematical modeling of distributed parameter systems in which mass/energy transport or wave propagation phenomena occur and which are described by partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. The case of linear (or linearized) 2 x 2 hyperbolic systems of balance laws is considered, i.e., systems described by two coupled linear partial differential equations…
