Out-of-place quotation ?
- "Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics". -- David L. Goodman "States of Matter"
It is a little weird to start an article with a quotation, like that. — Miguel 07:33, 2004 May 28 (UTC)
I know, but it is such a great quote from a standard reference, I thought it was worth including. Michael L. Kaufman 22:29, May 28, 2004 (UTC)
It is pretty interesting, maybe inclusion at the end of the article. Edsanville 05:40, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps the page should link to Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution (AC)
Structure of statistical mechanics articles
I'd like to make some more contributions to the Stat. Mech. subject, so I was trying to figure out the present structure. I've made up the following "summary" and I suppose it ought to go on the Stat. Mech. page, but I don't know where. Any suggestions or modifications? Paul Reiser 21:32, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Explaining latest edit.
Greetings. I have made a small change in the lead description. While statistical mechanics has applications in chemistry and several other fields of science and technology, many sources define it as a field of physics (see, for example, Britannica, Harvard, and Stanford Encyclopedia). 47.209.192.140 (talk) 06:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
