@Fiel: That doesn't help. I already saw that. It contradicts the Wikipedia article segment that says that when the exact derivative is taken, the total is 0. Then it fails to explain why whoever wrote that "answer" derived it fully instead of taking the partial.
@Riyuran: I know it says so. It doesn't provide a good explanation. Here's the portion you linked to:

Where in this segment does it explain where the VdP part went? Where does it explain the negative sign? Where does it explain why completely differentiating it won't work? And before you link me to the thermodynamic process Wikipedia page, I already clicked it. It doesn't explain it either.
Ultimately, I want to know how the equation is derived. Just because I made this in the Speakeasy instead of the Rubik's Cube doesn't mean that people should come in and, without fully reading the first post, link me to absolute crap and other unhelpful sources that I have already seen, especially when the sources aren't very credible to begin with (answers.com, answerbag.com). And then there's that attitude of pretending to have fully answered all of my questions when people only address a rather trivial section of my post.
If you are not interested in helping me or you don't know the answer, stay out of my thread. It's not that pineappleing hard. I'm sick of receiving piss poor replies from a forum that's supposed to contain a large userbase of intelligent individuals. At least have some decency.
