Thermodynamics is important.
The state equation for a gas is the heart-piece of thermodynamical reasoning (at least for gases).
In this article I present the three most common state equations for gases. The ideal gas formula (which is taught in school). The 'van der Waals' equation, for advanced readers. And finally the virial equation which is the ultimate, yet a little more complicated, formula.
Comments wellcome.

An interesting topic which kept me busy trying to get around for much of my physics courses... will take a look later 
anyway, could you be bothered to create another thread with the right format -- you know you want to!
