I mean, I'm definitely not the person who can say anything about it, but I always imagined this kind of math to be invented (where "invented" could be intended as "defined") to describe a particular real life system or procedure, so it felt logical to me that a geometric truth was interpreted by...

THIS IS PURE GOLD. I can't express my gratitude properly, this was what I was looking for and without doubt what I usually look for when I learn anything that is given as analytical definition. I struggle a lot imagining the geometric consequences of the definitions usually.

So, I found my answer. My bad for posting this thread without double checking or continuing said youtube series on the essence of linear algebra. I don't know how to behave in this case, should I keep the thread or should I (or who has the power) delete it? In the meanwhile, I'm going to...

Hi, I'd like to have a little insight about why the determinants of ℝ2x2 and ℝ3x3 matrices are computed that way. I know how to calculate said determinants in both the cases and I also know what's the meaning behind it thanks to "3blue1brown"'s youtube channel, which states that they are a...

Fair enough this time, thanks!

Was the formula first supposed like that and the experimentally proved?

Hi, I'm following an introduction course to chemistry and I am reviewing the chapter on Chemical kinetics. It's shown that the reaction speed for a certain component of a general chemical equation such as aA +bB <-> cC + dD , might be expressed as v = k[A]m[ B]m. I was wondering where it does...

I did the second option and ln(V2/V1) is indeed the larger one.

It surely will, but at the moment I don't even have that knowledge unfortunately. I guess it's the only way I can explain myself how entropy was born, but I'll get what I need, read what I need to and eventually come back. Thanks for the resources!

I get this one, and I think it's very helpful, but I still can't get why I should compare Q with T.

I'm not sure how to plot it on my laptop or which program to use, but I'm going to cheat if you're ok with that and say that I was expecting Wrev to be larger than Wirrev.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Indeed, it starts to make much more sense than before. Thanks for that! Could I find another name for entropy such as 'heat distribution' then? Would it make sense or did I aim in the wrong direction?

Oh yes, my bad. As an engineering student, if we had some values that wouldn't be a problem of course, but I suppose you meant to convert one work or the other in a formula which can indeed be comparable. Or we could just try to get the ratio between the twos, but I feel we're not getting any...

This is interesting! My brain automatically found some examples but I'm now asking you if the ideas I came up with make sense, so please let me know. So, let's say we know entropy is a measure of how much disorder has been caused in the system (I think it's indeed how it's usually first...
