<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>First book to unite the works of Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and the author himself. Gibbs' lucid advanced-level text remains a valuable collection of fundamental equations and principles. 1902 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Written by J. Willard Gibbs, the most distinguished American mathematical physicist of the nineteenth century, this book was the first to bring together and arrange in logical order the works of Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs himself. The lucid, advanced-level text remains a valuable collection of fundamental equations and principles. <br>Topics include the general problem and the fundamental equation of statistical mechanics, the canonical distribution of the average energy values in a canonical ensemble of systems, and formulas for evaluating important functions of the energies of a system. Additional discussions cover maximum and minimal properties of distribution in phase, a valuable comparison of statistical mechanics with thermodynamics, and many other subjects.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>In 1863 Yale University awarded J. Willard Gibbs (1839-1903) the first American doctorate in engineering. Professor of Mathematical Physics at Yale from 1871 until 1903, Gibbs made important theoretical contributions to many areas of physics, chemistry, and engineering. Together with James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann, he was instrumental in creating the discipline of statistical mechanics.
