Thermodynamics is the subject I most wish I retained more of from college. Studied just enough to pass, then promptly forgot most of it. And since it’s a subject that basically never comes up afterwards unless you’re doing pretty specialized work, it’s pretty much all gone.

It is actually extremely impractical! Nobody ever uses Carnot cycles etc after the textbook intro. But it’s like the Turing machines in CS. Shows you the bones of the real thing. The statistical mechanics side is no more foundational than the engines side. Just different tack.
