Hi ThorinMuglindir, I was wondering if you wanted to help me fix the ideal gas page. There are plenty of conceptual errors on that page and it needs a lot of work. Please leave a comment on the talk page for Ideal gas. (I've made a few comments of my own about the need for a re-write). I'm not sure how to make it part of a wikiproject or what category it would fall under but since you seem to like physics and chemistry... I figured it would be a good match. let me know! thanks!

Thank you for your edits at the Heat equation. I have a remark though. I think your contributions need to be better integrated in the article, and the sectioning needs to be changed. I mean, after all, the heat equation and the diffusion equation are the same thing, but now things look as is they are two, albeit related equations.
Haha, ain't it great to see that I still exist! guys, this is my former account... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stacy333 ( talk • contribs) 15:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC) In other words, the part about the Green's function needs to go up, etc. Good luck working on it. :) Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 02:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
One remark. One should not put links into section headings. That is, instead of == Diffusion== one better write ==Diffusion== and embed the link in the text below. This is good style, rather universally followed on Wikipedia. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 13:03, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I just wonder if you plan to do more work on heat equation. For now it looks that there is one object called "heat equation", and it has an evil twin called "diffusion equation". I think one should use the same "heat equation" terminology throughout most the article, as it is the same equation. More work on integrating your contributions would be needed, so that the stuff in there reads as one article. Wonder what you think. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 02:23, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Hello. Please note the difference in positioning of the two bounds of summation ("i = 1" and "n") below. Also, the capital sigmas have different sizes. The latter is standard. You used the former in probability density function.

1) You wrote: I come to you as the statistical mechanics specialist of the physics project.
2) I don't know about which formula is "most general", but there'd be nothing wrong in adding another definition to entropy. The "Shanon" definition you put on my talk page is discussed at information entropy. I guess the entropy article just has focused more on the aspects related to phenomonological thermodynamics and the second law of thermodynamics. Karol 16:35, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
P.S. What did you mean here by "those 2 text boxes"? Karol 16:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I replied two or three sections above this. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 21:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Hello - We have been having a discussion about the proper direction of the heat capacity article. Could you take a look at the talk page under "Is Cx necessary" and please give us your opinion? I know its a lot of back and forth to wade through, but we really need your help. Thanks - PAR 15:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi there! I thought it would be nice to introduce you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Polymers. See you around! -- HappyCamper 02:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
... Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry)? it appears that the counting of degrees of freedom in the article regarding diatomic gasses are double of what you have said in the talk page and i am convinced that you are correct and that the article is wrong. monatomic gasses have 3 degrees of freedom (translation in x, y, z directions) at normal temps, and diatomic gasses have 5 degrees of freedom (x, y, z, and two different twirling modes, spinning around the axis of the dumbell is not at lower temps). how did the article get to where it is (differentiating between "modes" and d.o.f.) and doubling the numbers? sounds like a bad semantic. if you fix it, and there are objections or an edit dispute, i will back you up.
