Physics Education Research and the Foundations of Physics: A Case Study from Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
The connection between mathematics and physics poses problems for students, but even professional physicists do not always notice when mathematical treatments fail to reflect physical processes. By way of example, I draw on the foundations of thermodynami

We dedicate this book to Jesús Carnicer Murillo, who left us last October, when we are preparing together this book. He wrote us the last letter from the Hospital. He promoted and organized the Frontiers of Fundamental Physics (FFP15) in Orihuela, offering us a perfect organization and hospitality. We remember him as a very active colleague with particular attention to science education and informal learning. Since 2012 he was Pedagogical Director of Teaching and Interactive Museum of Science Vega Baja del Segura of Valencia (MUDIC-VBS-CV) and head of the Department of Physics and Chemistry of the IES “Thader” of Orihuela (Alicante). He received the award for Ciencia en Acción. Granada. 2009 with the work Stand on contest: Pesando astronautas. Promoter and responsible for many project in Physics and Chemistry Education, he carried out many teacher education courses and initiatives to promote the MUDIC Museum.
He never spared himself in his
