Josiah Willard Gibbs Livres
Josiah Willard Gibbs était un scientifique américain dont le travail théorique a fondamentalement transformé la chimie physique en une science déductive rigoureuse. Il a co-créé la mécanique statistique, expliquant les lois de la thermodynamique comme des conséquences des propriétés statistiques de grands ensembles de particules. Gibbs a également inventé le calcul vectoriel moderne et apporté des contributions significatives à l'optique physique. Malgré une vie tranquille dans un relatif isolement, il est devenu l'un des premiers scientifiques américains jouissant d'une réputation internationale, et ses découvertes théoriques se sont avérées immensément précieuses pour la chimie industrielle.
