Consider a system <strong>of</strong> n extensive quantities e k and<br />
n intensive quantities i k , the differential increase<br />
in energy for a variation <strong>of</strong> e k is:<br />
dE = Σ k=1,n i k de k<br />
The intensive quantities can thus be defined as the<br />
partial derivative <strong>of</strong> the energy with respect their<br />
conjugate quantities:<br />
i k = ∂E/ ∂ e k
