When Josiah Willard Gibbs died in 1903, a European physicist described him as “the greatest synthetic philosopher since Newton.”. And this was before scientists really understood the full importance of his work. Admirers have since given Gibbs’s name to a crater on the moon, a US Navy research vessel (now retired), and an annual medal ...

JOSIAH WILLARD GIBBS—HASTINGS Gibbs gave most attention was the volume-entropy diagram, which presents many advantages when the properties of bodies are to be studied, rather than the work they do or the heat they give out. The chief reason for this superiority is that volume and entropy are both proportional to the quantity of substance,
Nov 30, 2015 · Josiah Willard Gibbs was born to Josiah Gibbs Sr. and Mary Anna Van Cleve on February 11, 1839 in New Haven, Connecticut.

He studied at Yale, received his Ph.D. there in 1863—one of the first doctorates granted in the United States ...
