| The history of such notions as heat, temperature, and entropy is considered. The notions were created and evolved both with technique's requirements and during the advancement of heat science. Some examples from different fields of mathematics which had a great impact on the notion evolution are given. The deduction of Maxwell and Boltzmann distributions is fully considered. The tragedy of pioneers who worked in this filed is also discussed. |
