Learning is hard. Which is why engineering curriculum’s have the highest drop out rates. Thermodynamics is hard, strength of materials is hard, I never understood how exactly Entropy can be calculated. Try calculating shaft bearing loads supported by 3 bearings.

” I never understood how exactly Entropy can be calculated.”

I’m not great in math, but I took Physics for Poets in college. I don’t think entropy can be quantified.

I stand to be corrected, though.
