People note German mathematician and physicist Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius for his work on the laws of thermodynamics.

Clausius, born Rudolf Gottlieb, started his education at the school of his father. After a few years, he went to the gymnasium in Stettin (now Szczecin). Clausius studied mathematics and physics with Gustav Magnus, Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, and Jakob Steiner at the University of Berlin, which graduated him in 1844. He also studied history with Leopold von Ranke. During 1847, he got his doctorate from the University of Halle on optical effects in the atmosphere of Earth.
He then served as professor of physics at the royal artillery and engineering school in Berlin and Privatdozent at the Berlin University.

1. The energy of the universe is constant.
2. The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum.”
