SklogWiki:About

SklogWiki is a wiki for the thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and computer simulation of materials community. SklogWiki derives its name from the famous equation:

$\left.S\right.=k\log W$

This equation is engraved at the top of Boltzmann's headstone at the Vienna Zentralfriedhof.

The symbols,

$\left.\right.\Theta \Delta ^{cs}$

is the short-hand used by James Clerk Maxwell for the word thermodynamics.

SklogWiki is hosted by the Theoretical Physical Chemistry Group of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (Spanish national research council) 'CSIC'. This initiative is partly financed by the Dirección General de Universidades e Investigación de la Comunidad de Madrid under Grant S0505/ESP/0299, program MOSSNOHO.

This wiki was started on the 15th of February 2007.
