James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was formulating the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation which brought together electricity, magnetism, and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after Isaac Newton.
