In 1871 he agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to become the first Professor of Experimental Physics in the University of Cambridge. He died, from cancer, at the early age of 47, but by that time he had already made fundamental contributions to the theory of gases, the study of heat and thermodynamics, and, above all, to electromagnetism. He recast the discoveries of Faraday and others in mathematical form, added an important principle of his own and thus produced what are usually referred to as

Home Catalogue Related Areas: New titles Email For updates on new titles in: The Scientific Letters and Papers of James Clerk Maxwell Volume 3 , 1874–1879 James Clerk Maxwell, Edited by P. M. Harman In stock The final volume of James Clerk Maxwell’s correspondence and manuscript papers begins in 1874, with the formal inauguration of the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge, and concludes with his death at the age of 48. As well as his Cambridge Professorship, Maxwell was concerned with directing the Cavendish Laboratory; acting as author and reviewer for the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and editing The Electrical Researches of Cavendish. In this period his letters also show his continuing commitment as a natural philosopher, apparent in his response to innovations in physical theory (by Boltzmann, Gibbs, Lorentz, and van der Waals), and in expanding his work on statistical physics and the kinetic theory of gases. His correspondence shows his influence on the younger generation of physicists whose outlook was shaped by his own style of physical theorising: the emergent Maxwellian physics.

Visit the Molecular Expressions Website Galleria Photo Gallery ... Home James Clerk Maxwell James Clerk Maxwell was one of the greatest scientists of the nineteenth century. He is best known for the formulation of the theory of electromagnetism and in making the connection between light and electromagnetic waves. He also made significant contributions in the areas of physics, mathematics, astronomy and engineering. He considered by many as the father of modern physics. Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1831. Even though most of his formal higher education took place in London, he was always drawn back to his family home in the hills of Scotland. As a young child, Maxwell was fascinated with geometry and mechanical models. When he was only 14 years old, he published his first scientific paper on the mathematics of oval curves and ellipses that he traced with pins and thread. Maxwell continued to publish papers on a variety of subjects. These included the mathematics of human perception of colors, the kinetic theory of gases, the dynamics of a spinning top, theories of soap bubbles, and many others. Maxwell's early education took place at Edinburgh Academy and the University of Edinburgh. In 1850 he went on to study at the University of Cambridge and, upon graduation from Cambridge, Maxwell became a professor of natural philosophy at Marischal College in Aberdeen until 1860. He then moved to London to become a professor of natural philosophy and astronomy at King's College. In 1865, Maxwell's father died and he returned to the family home in Scotland to devote his time to research. In 1871 he accepted a position as the first professor of experimental physics at Cambridge where he set up the world famous Cavendish Laboratory in 1874.

It is approaching the time when refurbishment of interior spaces, renewal of services etc. will be required. Advantage should be taken of any imminent refurbishment works to improve access and facilities for students with disabilities. Getting In Main Entrance The main entrance to the JCMB is at the east end on level 2. There are two approaches to the main entrance; east and west. The east approach is stepped. The west entrance (from the forecourt) is level, although the entrance doors have a metal threshold approx. 25mm high, which is uncomfortable to walk over or to transverse in a wheelchair. The entrance doors themselves, whilst not impossible to negotiate, should be replaced with automatic sliding doors, given the size and importance of the JCMB. Additionally the mat well is not level in relation to the floor and requires attention. Secondary Entrance There is a secondary entrance at the east end of the building opposite the Swann Building. this entrance gives level access to the whole of level 1.

Home Biography Historical Figures BIOGRAPHY : Historical Figures This paper is a good first attempt. Notice, however, that there are many paragraphs that are short some with only one sentence. For an essay or report to be considered really good, this should be avoided. A good paragraph has an introductory sentence, a body of sentences to support the introduction, and then a concluding sentence. James Clark Maxwell James Clerk Maxwell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on the thirteenth of November in 1831. His original name was James Clerk. "Maxwell" was added after his mother died when James was a mere eight years old. In 1841, Maxwell was sent to the Edinburgh Academy when he was eleven. At the Edinburg Academy, Maxwell had two papers published by the Royal Society of Edinburg. From the Edinburg Academy, Maxwell began furthering his academic career at the University of Cambridge in 1850. There, at the University of Cambridge, he won honors and prizes in mathematics. He went on to become a lecturer at Trinity College and in 1854 at Trinity College he obtained a mathematics degree. Two years later he joined the faculty of Marischal College and married the daughter of the principal of Marischal College. King's College of London and Marischal College of Aberdeen combined. Maxwell was appointed to King's College in London in 1860. He retired in 1865 to carry on his laboratory work but returned back to Cambridge in 1871. While at Cambridge, Maxwell planned the famous Cavendish laboratory and became the first Cavendish Professor. Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic waves established him as one of the greatest scientists in history.

Up 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. He further showed that electric and magnetic fields traveled through space, in the form of waves, at a speed of 3.0E5 k/s. He thus argued that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell also did basic work on Thermodynamics which led him to the well known thought experiment, Maxwell's demon. The Special Theory of Relativity owes its origins to Maxwell's equations of the electromagnetic field Albert Einstein. There is a mountain range on Venus, Maxwell Montes, named after James Clerk Maxwell. Upon arriving at Cambridge University, he was told there would be a compulsory 6am church service (now discontinued, fortunately!) He stroked his beard thoughtfully, and slowly pronounced, in a thick Scots Brogue, "Aye, I suppose I could stay up that late" GNU Free Documentation License

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) A Scotish physicist who wrote his first scientific paper at the age of 15. After teaching in Aberdeen and London became first Cavendish professor of experimental physics at Cambridge, England. His mathematical mind, working on the discoveries of Faraday and others, gave physics a celebrated set of equations for the basic laws of electricity and magnetism. His work revolutionised the understanding of fundamental physics and was put to practical use by Hertz for his transmitting oscillator and later by Marconi for the invention of wireless telegraphy in December 1894.
