[edit] Inexact differential
What *is* an inexact differential. I believe I was the person that put that redlink up a long while ago, and I had hoped that someone would fill that space with an explanation. I still have no idea what the inexact differential symbol δ *means*. Does anyone know? Fresheneesz 09:34, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, loosely it means that the function may not exist; also in thermodynamics it means that that function is not a state function and that it is path dependent. This is just from memory, I may be off on a few technical points. We are working to build the inexact differential article. Help if you want. Thanks:--Sadi Carnot 13:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
