Internal energy of an ideal gas independent of any thermodynamic variable at constant temperature


https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/199976/170242


In this answer (in the link), it is mentioned that "the internal energy of an ideal gas is independent of volume when considered as a function of volume and temperature."


Later, it is also mentioned that $$\left(\dfrac{\partial U}{\partial X}\right)_T=0$$ for any variable $X$.


From this, it is easy to conclude that internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of temperature only.


But, can one derive this expression mathematically ?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
