Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?
