This man names a group of methods for numerically modelling fluid dynamics on a lattice. Those methods involving solving the discrete version of an equation named for him, which sets the time derivative of the distribution function equal to the sum of a collision term and a force term. One theorem due to this scientist defines a function as the integral of the particle distribution function times the log of that function minus one, and shows that it always increases. He's the second namesake of the classical limit of the velocity distribution of particles in an ideal gas, and he showed that entropy is equal to the log of the total number of microstates times his namesake constant. For 10 points, name this German physicist who has a constant symbolized k and who nam
