where U is the internal energy, T is the temperature and S is the entropy. (TS) is a conjugate pair. The differential of this function is

From the second law of thermodynamics one obtains

thus one arrives at

For A(T,V) one has the following total differential

The following equation provides a link between classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics:
