Atoms, Mechanics, and Probability
One of the pillars of modern science, statistical mechanics, owes much to one man, the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906). The purpose of this book is to make the Boltzmann corpus more accessible to physicists, philosophers, and historians, and so give it new life. As a result of his unusual working and writing styles, his enormous contribution remains little read and poorly understood.
This constructive tendency largely accounts for his lengthy style, for the abundance of new constructions, for the relative vagueness of their The means are introductory biographical and historical materials, detailed and lucid summaries of every relevant publication, and a final chapter of critical synthesis.Special attention is given to Boltzmann's theoretical tool-box and to his patient construction of lofty formal systems even before their full conceptual import could be known.
