Abstract
JAMES Clerk MAXWELL, the celebrated Natural Philosopher and the father of electromagnetism, who laid the foundations for modern telecommunications theory, systems and applications, was born in 1831 in 14 India Street Edinburgh, Scotland. He was brought up at his father's country estate, Glenlair House in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, and he attended school at the Edinburgh Academy. Maxwell was a precocious child; he wrote his first paper on Oval Curves, when he was only 14 years old. The paper was presented to the Royal Society of Edinburgh-Scotland's national academy-on his behalf by James Forbes, Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, in 1846.
