Maxwell's legacy

Abstract

Working with RF has been a passion of mine ever since I learned how to grab a soldering iron by the right (EM) has held my attention for the last two decades. Gradually, as I started playing with Maxwell's equations back in the “good old days,” I began wondering about this Maxwell fellow (Figure 1). Historians acknowledge him to be the most important physicist of the 19th century, the equal of Einstein and Newton. Any bookstore or library has biographies of both Newton and Einstein … so where are the Maxwell biographies?
