Inexact Differential
An infinitesimal which is not the differential of an actual function and which cannot be expressed as
the way an Exact Differential can. Inexact differentials are denoted with a bar through the
. The most commonexample of an inexact differential is the change in heat 
encountered inthermodynamics. See also Exact Differential, Pfaffian Form
