---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "Jean's first treatise. It became a standard textbook, both because of its clarity and elegance and because Jeans incorporated into it the results of his own research... It includes his treatment of the persistence of molecular velocities after collisions. When a molecule undergoes a collision in gas there is, statistically, a tendency for it to maintain some motion in the direction that it favoring of forward motion over rebounding, correction factors must be included in the derivation of the coefficients of viscosity, heat conduction and diffusion of gases. His major efforts, though, were devoted to the problems posed by the classical theorem of equipartition of energy in its application to specific heats and particularly to blackbody radiation...".
