Legendre Transformations

Legendre Transformations is a mathematical method in classical thermodynamics that, by systematically replacing a variable with its conjugate through the subtraction of a product term, transforms a function into a new representation that facilitates the analysis of equilibrium thermodynamic systems under different sets of independent variables.
