Abstract
These documents contain instruction and practice with the Maxwell distribution of gas velocities. This document builds on the Ideal Gas Law-Intro to Mathcad document by Prof.Hardgrove. This material provides a classic set of exploratory interactive exercises foruse by students to examine the Maxwell distribution. The exercises build systematically in difficulty and show the power of Mathcad to evaluate integrals and perform symbolic mathematics.
