'''James Clerk Maxwell''' (1831-1879) was an Scottish-born physicist who advanced the theory of [[electricity]] and [[magnetism]], and also the kinetic theory of gases. He was an evangelical Christian who was skeptical about Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.

In his youth, Maxwell enjoyed [[geometry]], and wrote a paper on [[ellipse]]s at the age of 14. While he was not the top student in his class in mathematics, he continued his geometric approach and applied it with great success to [[physics]]. Maxwell is considered one of the greatest physicists of all time.
