摘要
Utilizing Mathematica this report shows how from a practitioner’s point of view useful quantities some known, and some unknown and fresh properties about the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution are calculated. We shortcut circling the usage of antiquated incomplete tabulated error functions given in the textbooks and professional literature replacing them with efficient upgrades. And, utilizing the animation features of Mathematica displaying the temperature-dependence of the distribution function assists in visualizing the character of the distribution.
