ok thx for the help.  I shall go read up some more...
take care,

It's worth noting that the use of 'd' in most treatments of thermodynamics is unprincipled and incorrect. For a treatment that makes sense, you might try Bernard Schutz's "Geometric methods of mathematical physics".

But before that, make sure you're solid on partial
differentiation.
