Richard C. Tolman (1881–1948) was an American physicist and physical chemist known for his significant contributions to theoretical physics and thermodynamics. He is best known for his work in statistical mechanics, where he developed important concepts that helped to bridge the gap between macroscopic and microscopic descriptions of physical systems. Tolman made notable contributions to the understanding of equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, phase transitions, and the behavior of gases.
