Ideal gas entropy

Hi class-

If you are interested in seeing the full treatment of the ideal gas entropy starting with Boltzmann's equation (S = k ln Omega) that includes kinetic energies, there is a short, two-page derivation in my graduate course that is at the level you should be able to understand. To read it, follow this link and go to page 14.

Have a good weekend,
MSS
