Hess's law states that the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is the same regardless of whether the reaction takes place in one step or several steps, provided the initial and final states of the reactants and products are the same. Enthalpy is an extensive property, meaning that its value is proportional to the system size. [4]
In 1830, Hess took up chemistry full-time, researching and teaching, and later became an adjunct professor of Chemistry at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. [1] His most famous paper, outlining his law on thermochemistry, was published there in 1840. [3] His principle, a progenitor for the first law of thermodynamics, came to be called ...
Hess' law of constant heat summation (1840): The energy change accompanying any transformation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or many. [3] These statements preceded the first law of thermodynamics (1845) and helped in its formulation. Thermochemistry also involves the measurement of the latent heat of phase transitions.

Identifying with , the normal "real" Hessian is a matrix. As the object of study in several complex variables are holomorphic functions , that is, solutions to the n-dimensional Cauchy–Riemann conditions , we usually look on the part of the Hessian that contains information invariant under holomorphic changes of coordinates.
Personally, I think that Hess's law sounds much better so I would keep the title and change the text back to Hess's throughout.
