James Clerk Maxwell
Whether you are talking on your cell phone, watching your favorite television program, surfing the web, or using your GPS to guide you on a trip, these are all modern conveniences made possible by the foundational work of the 19th century Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Though Maxwell didn’t discover electricity and magnetism, he did put in place a mathematical formulation of electricity and magnetism that built upon the earlier work of Benjamin Franklin, André-Marie Ampère, and Michael Faraday. This article gives a brief biography of the man and explains, in non-mathematical terms, the contribution to science and the world of James Clerk Maxwell.
