	James Clerk Maxwell - MSN Encarta
		Maxwell drew an analogy between the behavior of the lines of force and the flow of a liquid, deriving equations that represented electric and magnetic effects.
		Maxwell's other major contribution to physics was to provide a mathematical basis for the kinetic theory of gases, which explains that gases behave as they do because they are composed of particles in constant motion.
		Maxwell built on the achievements of German physicist Rudolf Clausius, who in 1857 and 1858 had shown that a gas must consist of molecules in constant motion colliding with each other and with the walls of their container.

	James Clerk Maxwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Clerk Maxwell (13 November 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish mathematical physicist, born in Edinburgh.

	James Clerk Maxwell and the Christian Proposition
		Maxwell's formulation of electromagnetic theory in differential form and his championing of the fundamental nature of the field in contrast to the action-at-a-distance theories of his day is, of course, the basis of essentially all of modern physics.
		Maxwell was strongly influenced by Frederick Denison Maurice, a former "Apostle" and the founder of the Christian Socialist movement.
		Maxwell had become a public figure, even though his science was still greatly under-appreciated, and so it was not surprising that he was consulted for example by the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, about his ideas relating his faith and science[19].

	James Clerk Maxwell
		James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) was a 19th century Scottish physicist who demonstrated that electric and magnetic forces are two aspects of electromagnetism.
		Maxwell codified earlier work on electricity and magnetism by Michael Faraday, Andre Marie Ampere, and others into a linked set of twenty differential equations in quaternions, the same mathematical system used later by Einstein for the relativity theory.
		Maxwell's Laws describe the nature of static and moving electric and magnetic charges, and the relationship between the two, namely electromagnetic induction.

	Maxwell's House
		James Clerk Maxwell was born on 13th June 1831 in Edinburgh at 14 India Street, a house built for his father in that part of Edinburgh's elegant Georgian New Town which was built after the Napoleonic Wars.
		Their son James Clerk Maxwell was born in the house at 14 India Street and he would eventually inherit the house on the death of his father, retaining the house throughout his life.
		James Clerk Maxwell's father had prepared his son well for education in many ways but, to send him to the Academy dressed in the country clothes he would have worn at Glenlair, shows a lack of understanding of how James's fellow pupils would react.

		The Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell was born November 13, 1831, the year that Samuel F.B. Morse first conceived the telegraph, and he died in Cambridge on November 5, 1879, the year that Thomas Edison was doing his first early work to invent the light bulb.
		James Forbes "for it was not thought proper for a boy in a round jacket to mount the rostrum there." As a young man, Maxwell was something of a nerd.
		But Maxwell's ether, or "sea of space," made it possible for scientists and engineers who followed Maxwell to think of "waves," a move that gave them the imaginative model they needed to proceed with the experiments in electromagnetism that led to the wireless telegraph, radio, television, radar and the laser.
