Description

This is the final volume in the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's work in gas theory, molecules, and thermodynamics. The papers reveal the development of his ideas and the uniqueness of his interpretation of mechanics, the necessity of a statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics, and his understanding of the dynamics of rare gases.
