Lectures in Applied Mathematics, Proceedings of the Summer Seminar, Boulder, Colorado, 1960, Volume I. 'Uhlenbeck had a very significant influence on statistical mechanics and brought an area which was very varied and disjointed into some sort of structured whole' (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site). 'He was an inspiring teacher. With superbly organised and extremely clear lectures, he laid bare for everyone to see the beautiful structure of statistical mechanics, based on the principles of the founding fathers, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs. Thus he transmitted to a younger generation what he conceived to be the essence of the past and the way to the future. In doing so, he educated several generations of physicists in statistical mechanics in a style rare in this century' (E.G.D. Cohen, 'George E. Uhlenbeck and statistical mechanics', Amer. J. Phys. 58 (7), 1990, 619-625). Codice articolo 18020
