Today is James C. Maxwell's 175th birthday!
Maxwell was one of the greatest mathematicians and physicists in history. His work on statistical distributions, statistical mechanics, and more importantly, electro-magnetism redefined the way the universe was understood.
For your delight, I include a link to Maxwell's equations. These beautiful equations unified radiation (light!), electricity and magnetism and while he was at it, he made it relativistically invariant (inspiring Einstein to develop his Special Relativity).
