Subject: van der Waals - one last note


I thought it might be appropriate to conclude the discussion of
J.D. van der Waals with the following:

This source of information comes from Appendix K of Physics, Part II
by Halliday and Resnick (Copyrights 1960,1962)

In 1910, Johannes Diderik van der Waals was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Physics for his work on the Equations of state of gases and fluids.
He lived from 1837-1923.

The spelling of Diderik is as it appears in the book, and I presume
it to be another typo as it disagrees with the spelling of Diederik
as supplied by Mirko Kranenburg in a previous posting.
