James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish mathematician and theoretical physicist. His most significant achievement was aggregating a set of equations in electricity, magnetism and inductance — eponymously named Maxwell's equations — including an important modification of Ampere's Circuital Law. It was the most unified model of electromagnetism yet. It is famous for introducing to the physics community a detailed model of light as an electromagnetic phenomenon, building upon the earlier hypothesis advanced by Faraday (Faraday Effect).

James Clerk Maxwell was born on 13 June 1831 in Edinburgh, to John Clerk Maxwell and Frances Maxwell (née Cay). His birthplace, at 14 India Street, is now the location of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences

James Clerk died unfortunatley on November 5, 1879 in Cambrigde, England.
