Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution [′mak‚swel ′bōlts·mən ‚di·strə‚byü·shən]
(statistical mechanics) Any function giving the probability (or some function proportional to it) that a molecule of a gas in thermal equilibrium will have values of certain variables within given infinitesimal ranges, assuming that the gas molecules obey classical mechanics, and possibly making other assumptions; examples are the Maxwell distribution and the Boltzmann distribution. Also known as Maxwell-Boltzmann density function. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
