References on Maxwell's Velocity Distribution

[DaTario]

Dear Sirs,

I would like to ask you if there is some reference where one can find a step-by-step demostration of Maxwell's Velocity distribution in a gas at temperature T.

Thank you

DaTario

Have a look at the Wikipedia section on Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

I would also recommend Wolfgang Pauli's lectures on physics in Dover edition, particularly the one on the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics.

Thank you both Mason and StaMechGuy.

Sincerely yours,
