| Title: | Kinetic theory --- From Euler to Maxwell |

| Abstract: | Acceptance of the kinetic theory of gases
was the entrance to the development of the concepts that presently explain the
structure of matter. The basic ideas of the Greek philosophers remained dormant
for several centuries until Euler, Bernoulli, Herapath, Waterston, Clausius,
and Maxwell, injected a sounder physical picture that led to our actual
understanding of the structure of a gas. |
