Lectures on Gas Theory

Summary: Magnificent work by grand master!
Review: I must say I'm a beginner in statistical mechanics but I believe Boltzmann is really worth reading because he was one of the creators of statistical mechanics. One can learn a lot by reading the works of masters. His book is of course old fashioned 19th century book and his notations are not the kind of thing you can love, but I found his book readable and enjoyable. Boltzmann works out every theorem rigorously and explains every single points in detail. It might exhaust you but at the end you can see the picture. I definitely recommend Boltzmann to everyone. P.S I also recommend Ehrenfest's book as companion of Boltzmann.
