Josiah Willard Gibbs (* 11. Februar 1839 in New Haven, Connecticut; † 28. April 1903 ebenda) war ein amerikanischer Wissenschaftler, der bedeutende theoretische Beiträge zur Physik, Chemie und Mathematik leistete.
Josiah Willard Gibbs ( / ɡɪbz /; [2] February 11, 1839 – April 28, 1903) was an American scientist who made significant theoretical contributions to physics, chemistry, and mathematics. His work on the applications of thermodynamics was instrumental in transforming physical chemistry into a rigorous deductive science.
24. Apr. 2024 · J. Willard Gibbs (born February 11, 1839, New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.—died April 28, 1903, New Haven) was a theoretical physicist and chemist who was one of the greatest scientists in the United States in the 19th century.
Ludwig Boltzmann defined entropy as a measure of the number of possible microscopic states ( microstates) of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium, consistent with its macroscopic thermodynamic properties, which constitute the macrostate of the system. A useful illustration is the example of a sample of gas contained in a container.
Benannt wurde das Paradoxon nach seinem Entdecker Josiah Willard Gibbs, der Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts mit der klassischen statistischen Physik berechnete, um wie viel sich durch die Mischung das erreichbare Phasenraumvolumen vergrößert, woraus er die vermeintlich allgemeingültige Formel für die Mischungsentropie ableitete.
When Josiah Willard Gibbs died in 1903, a European physicist described him as “the greatest synthetic philosopher since Newton.” And this was before scientists really understood the full importance of his work.
Vector Analysis is a textbook by Edwin Bidwell Wilson, first published in 1901 and based on the lectures that Josiah Willard Gibbs had delivered on the subject at Yale University. The book did much to standardize the notation and vocabulary of three-dimensional linear algebra and vector calculus, as used by physicists and mathematicians. It was ...
