When I taught Physics I was surprised how few people had heard of James Clerk Maxwell. He is that forgotten genius between Newton and Einstein.

When I was Electrical Engineering student, Maxwell was all over the curriculum. My professor teaching Electromagnetics course mentioned the formulation of which we were studying Maxwell's equations were re-written by Oliver Heaviside. In the Electrical Engineering world Heaviside is appreciated, but I think in general physics and Mathematics he should be mentioned allot more because he did do great work in the field. Having said all that, doing a Heaviside video would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!

One of my personal intellectual heroes. I've learned so much from his life as a physicist.

Two addenda worth noting: (a) "Natural Philosophy" before cir. 1960 referred to the department of 'Physics' {I remember seeing such old plaques in royal blue trimmed in gold, at the Univ. of Edinburgh when I was there taking a Master's degree; 1971-74} and (b) his name: James 'Clerk' Maxwell; the name 'Clerk' in the UK is pronounced 'Clark' ~ though 'Clerk' may highly likely be the more correct pronunciation of the two, as the profession of being a 'clerk' is derived via Latin referring to the 'clergy'. Also, it is said that James Clerk Maxwell was the only portrait hanging on the walls of Einstein's walls in his study at home, in Princeton.

For those interested, Katherine would die 7 years later in December of 1886 at Cambridge. Not much is known about what she did in these 7 years.

My favourite scientist 🔥🔥❤️❤️

The fact that, effectively, ALL wireless technology, as well as most of modern physics can trace their origins primarily to the work of Maxwell and yet barely anyone knows about him is bordering on criminal.

I love this insightful guy. The boast of modern physics is in the centrality of Maxwell's ingenuity. I salute him. He really redefined physics. I can vote him as one of the fathers of physics.

Been a long time man brilliant videos!!

Wait, what... a film that actually recognises that Maxwell is Scottish?! Well now I have to subscribe, don't I... Scotland's contributions to the development of the modern world from the Enlightenment onward are quite, quite remarkable. Particularly so for such a small country. From architecture to economics to engineering and on to the fundamental nature of things, as well as every area inbetween. It's a truly fascinating occurrence worthy of study and largely overlooked due to the individuals involved generally being labelled British which most people equate to English. A rich seam of content awaits there for anyone looking to tell the stories. And a great job you've done with Maxwell here!

Very nice summary of a creative force in mathematics. I have been interested in her research for many years.

Love these videos. Thank you for doing what you do.

Thanks for your content my friend! Please don't stop! Cheers from Brazil.

I noticed the thumbnail is a little bit diferent, is better now. Is good to see your content getting improved, even more by the fact is a valuable content.

Your videos make me love math more and more , I always loved history but not so much math . Guess your channel is helping .

Einstein had Maxwell's Portrait in his office. That explain everything about this great mind, James Clark Maxwell.

Awesome channel! If you want, please do a video on Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi (my favorite mathematician). And maybe also on Évariste Galois. Thanks!

Amazing Video, please do one on Joshia Willard Gibbs or Oliver Heaviside

Very nice. Next time, about Adrien-Marie Legendre or Josiah Willard Gibbs ♥️

Could you please make a brief history of my personal hero, George Polya? Thank you!!

The photo of his cousin at 8:45 really looks like a filter you would have on phone lol

Do Newton already!!!

Green next please :D

The air of a room is transformed into H2o and revolved into electricicyty

His birthday is on June 13 or July 13?

He even died consciously and calmly

Edinbraw, not Edinbowrow

I think "Clerk" is pronounced differently (one of those UK English traps).

He had a terrible childhood but still turned out to do a lot of good.

Clerk is pronounced as Clark

So he was dumb
