Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy. It describes how energy is transformed from one form to another and how it flows within a system. The laws of thermodynamics govern these energy transformations and provide a framework for understanding the behavior of systems.

The first law of thermodynamics states that in any thermodynamic process, when heat Q is added to a system, this energy appears as an increase in the internal energy stored in the system plus the work done by the system on it's surroundings.
or to shorten that, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can change from one form to another
i hope this helped ^^

True.
The branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. Four basic laws have been established. The first law states that the amount of energy added to a system is equal to the sum of its increase in heat energy and the work done on the system. The first law is an example of the principle of conservation of energy. The second lawstates that heat energy cannot be transferred from a body at a lower temperature to a body with a higher one without the addition of energy. Thus, warm air outside can transfer its energy to a cold room, but transferring energy out of a cold room to the air outside requires extra energy (as with an air conditioner). The third law states that the entropy of a pure crystal at absolute zero is zero. Since there can be no physical system with lower entropy, all entropy is thus defined to have a positive value. The zeroth law states that if two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with some third body, then they are also in equilibrium with each other. This law has its name because it was implicitly assumed in the development of the other laws, and is in fact more fundamental than the others, but was only later established as a law itself.

The study of converting heat into mechanical energy is called thermodynamics. It is a branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat, work, and energy. Thermodynamics is essential for understanding and optimizing processes such as engines, refrigeration, and power generation.

Thermodynamics is both a law and a theory. It has a set of well-established laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which describe the behavior of energy in systems. Additionally, the principles and concepts underlying thermodynamics are formulated into a theory to explain and predict the behavior of physical systems.

I've never heard of a "thermodynamics engineer" although I do know that a lot of mechanical and chemical engineers spend a great deal of their time applying thermodynamics to the projects they are working on.
1 answer
Not exactly.
The first law of thermodynamics, i.e. the law of conservation of energy, also accounts for heat as one of the many forms that energy can take. There is no one law called "the law of thermodynamics", but there are several "Laws of Thermodynamics" (note the plural form "LAWS").

Thermodynamics is a part of physics, and physics is very closely related to maths. Physics involves a lot of mathematical equations and problems, and as such, to be good in thermodynamics, you have to be good in maths.
