Abstract: In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his some other contributions in physics, characteristics of his work, his strong support on atomism, character of his personality and relationship with his students and final part of his life.
