Jeans's primary aim with the first edition of his book, originally
published in 1904, was to 'develop the theory of gases upon as
exact a mathematical basis as possible'. Twenty years later and
those theories were being revolutionised by Quantum Theory. In this
fourth edition, Jeans does not attempt to avoid the discoveries of
this topical science, but rather exposes the many difficulties that
classical theory was experiencing, and how those problems
disappeared with Quantum Theory. This edition therefore offers a
fascinating insight into a field of physics in transition between
two great models of physical science.
