Josiah Willard Gibbs Libros
Josiah Willard Gibbs fue un científico estadounidense cuyo trabajo teórico transformó fundamentalmente la química física en una ciencia deductiva rigurosa. Co-creó la mecánica estadística, explicando las leyes de la termodinámica como consecuencias de las propiedades estadísticas de grandes conjuntos de partículas. Gibbs también inventó el cálculo vectorial moderno e hizo contribuciones significativas a la óptica física. A pesar de llevar una vida tranquila en relativo aislamiento, se convirtió en uno de los primeros científicos estadounidenses con reputación internacional, y sus descubrimientos teóricos demostraron ser inmensamente valiosos para la química industrial.
