Resumen:
In this work, the correspondence between the empirical laws of equilibrium thermodynamics and the mathematical axioms of an abstract metric space is revisited. Thermodynamic field variables appear as abstract Euclidean vectors whose lengths and internal angles describe the equilibrium properties. A variety of thermodynamic identities, stability conditions and other relationships have simple geometrical significance in this framework. Finally, some examples and applications are discussed.
