the probability distribution of molecular speeds in an ideal gas at thermal equilibrium, first derived by Maxwell from kinetic theory.

In statistical physics, Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution refers to the probability distribution of molecular speeds in an ideal gas at thermal equilibrium, first derived by Maxwell from kinetic theory. This meaning comes from Maxwell (1860) in The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science.[1]
