Re: [Phys-L] notation for partial derivatives



Equation [1] has a delightful pictorial interpretation
in terms of vectors in an abstract high-dimensional
space. Let's be clear: dE, dV, dS, and similar things
must be considered vectors.

or dE dV componentes of the "diferencial of state vector"
and 1/T -P/T of the covector or something like that
