When in the year 1963 Gibbs received his PhD ***** Yale, his ***** one ***** the first Doctorates to have been granted to an Americ*****, Gibbs was an *****dividual who had been keenly interested in mathematics *****d engineering from when he had ***** a young boy, *****nd after his doctorate, he decided to visit Europe for a few *****s, and ***** he managed to attend a ***** lectures given in Paris, Hindenburg, ***** Berlin by some of t***** grea*****est men of the time, his entire life course was changed. When Gibbs returned form Europe, ha sought employ*****t and was appointed as ***** first ever 'Professor of Mathematical Physics', without pay. Gibbs managed because he ***** enough money left to him by way of inheritance by his father. T***** great man n***** married, ***** he lived out a peaceful and uneventful life with his sisters. Although ***** was well liked by everyone ***** knew him, he tended to avoid contact ***** society and with too many people, and even his great writings were not very well known, perhaps because his writings were too compact and abstract to decipher.

However, it must be stated that Josiah Willard Gibbs has been recognized as one of the ********** American scientists ***** the nineteenth century, ***** it is ***** who has managed ***** provide a sound *****rmodyn*****mic foundation to Physical Chemistry, to America as well as to the entire world. (Dr. J Willard Gibbs) It was in the year 1873; when Gibbs was about thirty four years of age that he published one of his first works, which ***** entitled "Graphical Methods ***** the Thermodynamics of Fluids." T***** was also the time ***** Gibbs' genius ***** just beginning ***** be revealed to ***** world, and this first publication included the formula that he was later to become very ***** known for, 'dU= T dS - P dv.' (Corrosion Doctors, ***** Willard Gibbs, 1839-1903)

*****he second work that Gibbons published in the same year was "A Method of Geometrical Representation ***** ***** Thermodynamic Properties of Substances ***** Means of Surfaces." From the *****s from 1876 to 1878, Gibbs ***** two memoirs, which were ***** to be combined into ***** work, entitled, "On ***** Equilibrium of Heterogeneous *****." ********** to this, Josiah ***** Gibbs has contributed to various other spheres, like for example, crystallography, the determination of planetary and comet orbits, ***** also to electromagnetic *****ory. The most interesting phenomenon ***** Gibbs man*****d to achieve was that he made the practical side of science appealing and fascinating. Gibbs was also recognized as a 'theoretical physicist' of international stature, and he received a patent in the year 1866 for an improved type of railroad brake.
