书籍简介

本书由19世纪美国杰出的数学物理学家J.Willard Gibbs撰写，是一本将克劳修斯、麦克斯韦、玻尔兹曼和Gibbs本人的作品汇集起来并按逻辑顺序排列的书。这本清晰的高级文本仍然是基本方程和原理的宝贵集合。

主题包括统计力学的一般问题和基本方程，系统的典型组合中平均能量值的典型分布，以及评估系统能量的重要函数的公式。其他讨论包括相位分布的大和小属性，统计力学与热力学的宝贵比较，以及许多其他主题。

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.

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.

作者简介

1863年，耶鲁大学授予J.Willard Gibbs（1839-1903）美国工程博士学位。从1871年到1903年，吉布斯在耶鲁大学担任数学物理学教授，他对物理学、化学和工程学的许多领域做出了重要的理论贡献。他与詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦和路德维希·玻尔兹曼一起，在创建统计力学学科方面发挥了作用。

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.
