James Clerk Maxwell

Early Life Maxwell was always recognized as a smart one Always curious Taught by mother and tutor before school

Edinburgh Academy He was very successful in math and english Not recognized by the school for his genius till 13 At 14 wrote paper on ellipses and curves. At 18 wrote a couple more about assorted things- never was allowed to present or be credited with ideas

Edinburgh University Learned some physics and natural philosophy Had lots of free time for self interests and projects. Worked a lot with light

Cambridge Math degree from Trinity Worked a lot on color- found red green and blue light combined make white light.

Aberdeen University Did work on Saturn’s rings. Won Adams prize. Only one who even made headway Was confirmed as correct by Voyager

Kings College Did most of his work on electromagnetism: – Unification of light electricity and magnetism Displacement current Electromagnetic induction Polarization of light Etc.
