Proceedings of the Gibbs Symposium: Yale University, May 15-17, 1989D. G. Caldi, George D. Mostow American Mathematical Soc., 7 พ.ย. 1990 - 321 หน้า This volume, a joint publication with the American Institute of Physics, contains the proceedings of a symposium honoring the memory of Josiah Willard Gibbs, one of the giants of theoretical physics. Three articles provide perspectives on Gibbs, the man, and on the place his work occupies in the history of science. There are also contributions from leading scientists on statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, geophysics, number theory, general relativity, and economics. |
