Description

James Clerk Maxwell was highly regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of the age. He made an enormous number of advances in his own right. But when he translated Faraday's ideas into mathematical language, thus creating field theory, this unified framework of electricity, magnetism and light became the basis for much of later, twentieth century physics, Faraday and Maxwell’s collaborative efforts gave rise to many of the technological innovations we take for granted today - from electric power generation to television, and much more.

Other physicists were equally impressed with Maxwell's work, such as Richard Feynman who commented:

From a long view of the history of the world—seen from, say, ten thousand years from now—there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electromagnetism. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade.
