Pioneering ideas for the physical and chemical sciences : Josef Loschmidt's contributions and modern developments in structural organic chemistry, atomistics, and statistical mechanics : proceedings of the Joseph Loschmidt Symposium, held June 25-27, 1995, in Vienna, Austria /
This volume presents the contributions delivered at the "Josef-Loschmidt-Sympo sium, " which took place in Vienna, June 25-27, 1995. The symposium was arranged to honor Josef Loschmidt one hundred years after his death (8 July 1895), to evaluate the sig nificance of his contributions to...
