This book will help readers understand how to calculate thermodynamic magnetic properties. Providing a concise review of timeindependent magnetic fields and their properties, it goes on to discuss the thermodynamic potentials and thermodynamic properties of magnetizing materials of different shapes and sizes, and finally, the equilibrium properties of superconductors.

Chapters are accompanied by problems illustrating the applications of the principles, in order to optimise and enhance understanding. This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers specializing in solid state physics, magnetism, and superconductivity.
