His scholarship also ranged wide - covering all the major aspects of Victorian natural philosophy. He was one of the most important mathematical physicists of all time, coming only after Newton and Einstein. In scientific terms his immortality is enshrined in electromagnetism and Maxwells equations, but as this book shows, there was much more to Maxwell than electromagnetism, both in terms of his science and his wider life. Maxwells life and contributions to science are so rich that they demand the expertise of a range of academics - physicists, mathematicians, and historians of science and literature - to do him justice. The various chapters will enable Maxwell to be seen from a range of perspectives. Chapters 1 to 4 deal with wider aspects of his life in time and place, at Aberdeen, Kings College London and the Cavendish Laboratory. Chapters 5 to 12 go on to look in more detail at his wide ranging contributions to science: optics and colour, the dynamics of the rings of Saturn, kinetic theory, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism and electromagnetism with the concluding chapters on Maxwells poetry and Christian faith.</p>...4035449James Clerk Maxwell14281587https://www.gandhi.com.mx/james-clerk-maxwell-9780191641268/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2574640/1700338c-e5d0-4569-97ff-d2fb1547adaf.jpg?v=638384160570330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149780191641268_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_<p>James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) had a relatively brief, but remarkable life, lived in his beloved rural home of Glenlair, and variously in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, London and Cambridge.
