释义
Gibbs, Josiah Willard (1839–1903)

Physics
  • who spent his entire academic career at Yale University. During the 1870s he developed the theory of chemical thermodynamics, devising concepts such as the Gibbs free energy; he also derived the phase rule and was one of the founders of statistical mechanics. In mathematics he introduced vector notation.


Statistics
  • Gibbs entered Yale U in 1854 to study mathematics and Latin. He remained at Yale, becoming its first doctorate student in engineering (and the first in the USA) in 1863. During the 1870s Gibbs worked on thermodynamics and in the 1880s on vector analysis. He was elected to membership of the NAS in 1879. In 1897 he was elected FRS and was awarded the Society's Copley Medal in 1901. His Elementary Principles of Statistical Mechanics was published in 1902. A lunar crater is named after him.

Chemistry
  • who spent his entire academic career at Yale University. During the 1870s he developed the theory of chemical thermodynamics, devising functions such as Gibbs free energy; he also derived the phase rule and made fundamental contributions to statistical mechanics. In mathematics he introduced vector notation.


Chemical Engineering
  • An American mathematician and physicist noted for his work on thermodynamics. A professor at Yale University, he developed the theory of chemical thermodynamics and devised the concepts of Gibbs free energy and Gibbs’ phase rule. He was also a founder of statistical mechanics and was responsible for the introduction of vector notation.
