Name:
Boltzmann, Ludwig
Detailed information:
(1844–1906). Born in Vienna, Boltzmann was interested primarily in physical chemistry and thermodynamics. His work has importance for chemistry because of his development of the kinetic theory of gases and the rules governing their viscosity and diffusion. The mathematical expression of his most important generalizations is known as Boltzmann's law, still regarded as one of the cornerstones of physical science.
