Homework Statement



at some point in my derivation I get to the following line:

cp/cv = (dS/dP)T(dP/dT)S / (dS/dV)T(dV/dT)S

I think this equals (dS/dP)T(dS/dV)P / (dP/dT)V(dV/dT)S

- from applying maxwells relations.
but my book says it is in fact the following:

(dS/dP)T(dV/dS)T / (dV/dT)S(dT/dP)S

I haven't a clue how they are doing this

Aren't they just using [itex]1/(dX/dY)_Z=(dY/dX)_Z[/itex]?
