Topic: Sackur-Tetrode equation

John Baez (Sep 18 2022 at 09:24):

I've been tweeting for months teaching people statistical mechanics, leading up to a derivation of the Sackur-Tetrode formula for the entropy of an ideal gas.

This is a nice article about its history:

• Walter Grimus, 100th anniversary of the Sackur–Tetrode equation.

It's nice - and by the way, @Owen Lynch, it states the equation in a way that's much more pleasant to read than the way you used to write it.
