Josiah Willard Gibbs Libri
Josiah Willard Gibbs è stato uno scienziato americano il cui lavoro teorico ha trasformato fondamentalmente la chimica fisica in una rigorosa scienza deduttiva. Ha co-creato la meccanica statistica, spiegando le leggi della termodinamica come conseguenze delle proprietà statistiche di grandi insiemi di particelle. Gibbs ha anche inventato il moderno calcolo vettoriale e ha dato contributi significativi all'ottica fisica. Nonostante una vita tranquilla in relativo isolamento, divenne uno dei primi scienziati americani con una reputazione internazionale, e le sue scoperte teoriche si rivelarono immensamente preziose per l'industria chimica.
