The Collected Works of J. Willard Gibbs

Open access
·1929·Nature

Abstract

THE writings of Gibbs on thermodynamics and statistical theory were far and away the most complete of the early presentations of those subjects, but there must be many with a good knowledge of the theories who have never consulted the originals. As his works have long been out-of-print, the editors have performed a most valuable service in bringing out the present two volumes. They are beautifully printed, and the editors are to be congratulated on having adopted the right method for the re-issue of a classic; a commentary will certainly be useful, and one is to be composed by a number of authorities, but the present books are not disfigured by footnotes in the manner so often practised by energetic but injudicious editors.The Collected Works of J.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
