“Mathematicians have found solutions to a 140-year-old, seven-dimensional equation that were not known to exist for more than a century, despite its widespread use in modeling the behavior of gases.”
The wife will be glad to hear this.

Was it behind a copy machine at the Rose Law Firm?

During the late 1860s and 1870s, physicists James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann developed this equation to predict how gaseous material distributes itself in space and how it responds to changes in things like temperature, pressure or velocity. 
If only they'd've asked me. I could've told 'em.

Is she a mathematician or 140 years old?

I hated Transport. And what does this have to do with diffusivity anyways?

My granddaughter told her brother: I send a Boltzmann in your direction. He ran out of the room holding his nose. Kids are so adaptable.

When they solve Fermat’s last theorem, call me.

That pic reminds me of how a mathematician cured his constipation. He worked it out with a pencil.

Personally, I’ve looked at it.
And while it seems to be good as A SOLUTION, I think Fermat came up with more of a geometrical based solution.
Sadly, he never wrote it down. Or if he did, it has been lost.

Fermat’s Last Theorem was finally proven a couple years ago, I believe.

I can see that sometimes, Moe Howard had the right idea! ;’)
