He also proposed that light is an electromagnetic phenomenon.
This person worked independently from Ludwig Boltzmann on statistics to explain a kinetic theory of gases, but the results use both of their names. He also proposed that light is an electromagnetic phenomenon. This scientist's best-known work, later revised by Oliver Heaviside, expressed as simply as possible the divergences and curls of electric and magnetic fields, tying together the work of Gauss, Faraday, and Ampere. Name this Scottish physicist famous for summarizing the laws of electromagnetism in four equations.
