	James Clerk Maxwell
		James Clerk Maxwell (June 13, 1831 - November 5, 1879) was a Scottish physicist who demonstrated that electric[?] and magnetic forces are two aspects of electromagnetism.
		Maxwell's Laws describe the nature of static and moving electric and magnetic charges, and the relationship between the two, namely electromagnetic induction.
		Maxwell also did basic work on thermodynamics which led him to the well known thought experiment, Maxwell's demon.

	James Clark Maxwell
		James Clerk Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the thirteenth of November in 1831.
		Although Maxwell did not originate the kinetic theory of gases, he was the first to apply methods of probability and statistics to describe the properties of gas molecules.
		Maxwell's theory is a unification that remains one of the greatest landmarks in the whole of science.

	James Clerk Maxwell Summary
		Maxwell, James Clerk(1831–1879) James Clerk Maxwell, the British physicist, came from a well-known Scottish family, the Clerks; his father adopted the name Maxwell on inheriting an estate originally belonging to that family.
		James Clerk Maxwell(13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish mathematical physicist, born in Edinburgh.

		Fourthly, Maxwell laid the ground work for the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions, which are slight modifications of Maxwell's distribution to account for the separation of matter into two classes, bosons and fermions.
		Maxwell does a great job of explaining thermodynamics in a manner that is clear to anyone with a term of physics.
		Maxwell is one of the brightest stars of the physics universe and everything we do in our current culture is based on his work.

	James Clerk Maxwell(1831-1879) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		James Clerk Maxwell opened the doors of science farther than anyone ever had or possibly ever will.
		One of his most famous accomplishments was the derivation of equations linking electricity and magnetism ("Maxwell's Equations"), which eventually led to the development of quantum physics in the early 1900's and to Einstein's general theory of relativity.
		Maxwell showed through mathematics that an oscillating electric charge produces an electromagnetic field which propagate at the speed of light.

		The secondary literature on Maxwell comprises one of the largest areas of the history of science, with dozens of substantial monographs and hundred of papers of varying technicality.
		The Life of James Clerk Maxwell by L. Campbell and W. Garnett (Macmillan and Co.1882) is a comprehensive biography which remains a valuable source of information and opinion from his contemporaries (Campbell was a school-friend of Maxwell's).
		The Scientific Papers of James Clark Maxwell [SPM] edited by W. Niven (Cambridge University Press 1890) is a 2-volume collection of most of Maxwell's published papers, compiled after his death.

	Electromagnetic Hymn of the Republic
		Maxwell was well-known for explaining his theories out loud to his dog.
		Verse 4 refers to the other two Maxwell's equations: the first two lines are Faraday's Law (which says that a changing magnetic field creates an electric field, and so is the basis for generating electricity), while the second two lines are Ampere's Law (which says that a changing electric field creates a magnetic field).
		The combination of these two laws lead to the realization that light is a self-sustaining wave, in which a changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field, which in turn creates a changing magnetic field, etc. Verse 6 refers to boundary conditions at an interface, as described mathematically here.

	What is Color Film
		In 1665 Isaac Newton observed that white light could be separated into a spectrum of colors that could be reunited.
		In 1861 James Clark Maxwell prepared positive transparencies represented red, green, blue filter exposures each through the respective taking filter, and superimposed the three images on a screen.
		The introduction in 1963 of a single-structure film and a step-up process marked a significant innovation in color photography.

	Gadget Lab: Maxwell's Demon Created by Scottish Scientists
		Scientists in Britain have created a nano-machine envisioned 150 years ago, perhaps solving the thermodynamic riddle posited by Scots physicist James Clark Maxwell in 1867.
		Maxwell's Demon is one of those Victorian thought experiments that could easily become the critical McGuffin in a steampunk novel, catalyzing the nascent science of the 19th century and a weltenschauung riddled with imperial ambition.
		The real-life demon, created by a team at the Univsersity of Edinburgh, appears to show that Maxwell's own solution is the correct one: the demon can trap molecules under their own natural motion.

	The Maxwell distribution
		The above distribution is called the Maxwell velocity distribution, because it was discovered by James Clark Maxwell in the middle of the nineteenth century.
		This is the famous Maxwell distribution of molecular speeds.
		Figure 7 shows the Maxwell velocity distribution as a function of molecular speed in units of the most probable speed.

	Christie's - The Harvey Plotnick Library on The Development of Quantum Physics & The Theory of Relativity
		A large number of the original publications are presentation copies or association copies of the greatest possible interest.
		Authors whose work is strongly represented include Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, Wolfgang Pauli, Niels Bohr, James Clark Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz, and numerous other Nobel Prize winners in physics.
		Central to the Plotnick library is a comprehensive collection of autograph manuscripts, letters, and published writings of Albert Einstein that traces the development of his thought from his earliest published work through the theory of special relativity and the theory of general relativity and its experimental confirmation.

		ASTRONOMERS who detect interstellar radiation with the James Clark Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii have called for a management shake-up and radical changes among the staff who manage the telescope.
		New Scientist understands that the boardof the JCMT, which runs the telescope,will be recommending to the Science and Engineering Research Council that a technical specialist should be sent out to Hawaii to help sort out the problems.
