"Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics" is a seminal work by the American physicist and mathematician J. Willard Gibbs, published in 1902. In this book, Gibbs laid the foundation for statistical mechanics, which is a branch of physics that uses statistical methods to explain the thermodynamic properties of systems composed of a large number of particles.
