... 2. The entropy can be defined in terms of the multiplicity as S ≡ kB ln (multiplicity) . We shall see in statistical mechanics that this definition is equivalent to the phenomenological concept we have learnt previously in this section. 3. With the above definition of entropy at hand, we can formula ...
