This chapter firstly looks back on the development of macroscopic thermodynamics during the last three hundred years and its historical contribution to the social evolvement. The present achievement and challenges are also discussed. To clearly understand the thermodynamic laws, the essential concepts of thermodynamics are defined and clarified. Further, the macroscopic thermodynamics of materials and the fundamental principles of four thermodynamics laws are introduced, which are the essential basis of the later chapters. The intrinsical relationships between these thermodynamics laws through a series of mathematical deductions are given, which additionally result in the acquirement of the most important physical amounts of materials.
