		Maxwell's first major contribution to science was a study of the planet Saturn's rings, the nature of which was much debated.
		Maxwell's most important achievement was his extension and mathematical formulation of Michael Faraday's theories of electricity and magnetic lines of force.
		Maxwell also calculated that the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic field is approximately that of the speed of light.

	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 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 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 MAXWELL is by birth a son of Tennessee, by adoption of Texas, the greater part of his life, however, having been passed in the latter state.
		Maxwell settled on land that is now within three hundred yards of where the college stands in the city of Granbury and at that place he made his home until after the breaking out of the Civil war in 1861.
		Maxwell was called to public office by his fellow townsmen, who elected him to the position of county assessor of Jones county, in which capacity he has since served.

	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.

	James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)
		James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Scottish physicist, widely considered by twentieth and twenty-first century physicists to have been one of the most significant figures of the nineteenth century.
		Thus encouraged by his father and the natural philosopher James Forbes (1809-1868), the fourteen year old Maxwell produced his first publication: a paper describing a simple mechanical means of drawing mathematical curves with a piece of string.(2) This combination of algebraic mathematics with elements of geometry would remain a distinctive feature of Maxwell's work.
		Maxwell suggested that magnetic action could be explained by considering the lines of magnetic force around a magnet as if they were vortices within a continuous fluid medium.

		James Clerk Maxwell was born on 18 June 1831 to Frances Cay and John Clerk – a lawyer who was the younger son of James Clerk.
		Maxwell plugged Weber's force ratio into his equations and discovered to his utter astonishment that the velocity exactly equalled the speed of light, which was then known experimentally to an accuracy of 1%.

	James Clerk Maxwell
		James Clerk Maxwell may not be a household name when it comes to scientists, but his contributions to the field ranks him with some of the great scientists of all time.
		The one name that James Maxwell is often associated with is Michael Faraday, Maxwell's predecessor in the study of electromagnetics.
		This is perhaps the area where Maxwell stands out among scientists of the time, he was one of the first to attempt to describe phenomena such as the relationship between electric current and magnetic fields.

		James Clerk Maxwell has recently been hailed as the No 1 Scientist in a National Library of Scotland poll, and the 4th most important topic in Scotland’s History by a BBC poll.
		James Clerk Maxwell himself (in 1864) said: “We have strong reason to conclude that light itself - including radiant heat and other radiation, if any - is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves propagated through the electro-magnetic field according to electro-magnetic laws.”
		- James Clerk Maxwell was placed 4th by the public vote in ‘Scotland's History - The Top Ten’, a BBC Scotland TV series, which took stock of Scotland's past to define the top 10 events that have shaped our nation.

		"...the author draws attention to the importance of Maxwell's studies in philosophy, which were to influence him greatly later, and the state of the ideas concerning the fundamentals of mechanics in the middle of the nineteenth century.
		The argument is structured by a focus on the fundamental themes that shaped Maxwell's science: analogy and geometry, models and mechanical explanation, statistical representation and the limitations of dynamical reasoning, and the relation between physical theory and its mathematical description.
		Maxwell's work and ideas are viewed historically in terms of his indebtedness to scientific and cultural traditions, of Edinburgh experimental physics, and of Cambridge mathematics and philosophy of science, which nurtured his career.
