boltzmann formula is the very thing that made me fail my statistical thermodynamics class, but my inner nerd could not get any more excited seeing it on a car's license plate.
in case you are curious, boltzmann formula gives the entropy of a system in terms of W, the number of microstates that corresponds to the macrostates of that same system. k is the usual boltzmann constant of 1.38e-23 J/K.
W is given by
where N is the number of identical particles in the i-th state of that particular system. Ideal gas is assumed, of course.
