I changed the σ to an S, which is traditional for entropy. σ is generally reserved for the peak of a statistical plot (such as gaussian) or it can be used to represent standard deviation, but not entropy. Also, in most textbooks, in fact, in all that I've seen for thermodynamics, the equation includes the Boltzmann constant. It is also the multiplicity of a macrostate, which I think needs to be clarified. Multiplicity can refer to other things.
