Exact Expressions of Entropy for Classical Non-interacting Many-body Systems

In the thermodynamic limit, the equilibrium state of a many-body system can be characterized by three pairs of conjugate thermodynamic variables: $E/T,V/P,N/\mu$. In this limit, the thermodynamic properties in all ensembles are equivalent up to the leading order of $E,V,N$. However, for systems of finite size, this ens...
