Specialist Notes

A Scottish physicist and mathematician of extraordinary scientific influence, Maxwell formulated the mathematical theory of electromagnetism, unifying electricity, magnetism, and light into a single theoretical framework through the famous Maxwell equations. His work on the kinetic theory of gases and the statistical distribution of molecular velocities was fundamental to the development of statistical mechanics.
