Fine Art Print : Josiah Willard Gibbs, US mathematician
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Josiah Willard Gibbs, US mathematician
Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839-1903), US mathematician and theoretical physicist. Gibbs graduated from Yale University, USA in 1858 and gained a PhD on gear design in 1863. He remained at Yale throughout his academic career, and was appointed professor of mathematical physics in 1871. Between 1873 and 1876 Gibbs developed the theory of thermodynamics in a long series of papers. He formulated the Gibbs phase rule which describes the equilibrium of heterogeneous systems. His name is also associated with Gibbs free energy, the function that determines the conditions in which a chemical reaction will occur

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the brilliant mind of Josiah Willard Gibbs, a renowned American mathematician and theoretical physicist. With his distinguished appearance, he exudes wisdom and intellect that comes with age and experience. Gibbs' academic journey began at Yale University in 1858, where he graduated before earning his PhD in gear design in 1863. Remaining devoted to Yale throughout his career, he was appointed as a professor of mathematical physics in 1871. It was during the years between 1873 and 1876 that Gibbs made groundbreaking contributions by developing the theory of thermodynamics through an extensive series of papers. One of his most significant achievements is formulating the Gibbs phase rule, which elegantly describes equilibrium within heterogeneous systems. Additionally, Gibbs free energy became synonymous with his name as it determines the conditions necessary for chemical reactions to occur. This photograph not only captures Gibbs' historical significance but also reflects upon the rich history of scientific exploration. As one gazes into this monochrome portrait, they are reminded of how influential individuals like him have shaped our understanding of mathematics, physics, and their interconnectedness. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image as a testament to human curiosity and intellectual pursuit.
