SCUBA-2 has a field of view of 43 arcmin at both of the 850 and 450 μm focal planes. Proposals have been accepted for POL-2 and general observing will start in August 2016. The POL-2 polarimeter for the SCUBA-2 10 000 pixel Terahertz camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in it's late state of commissioning. POL-2: a polarimeter for the James-Clerk-Maxwell telescopeįriberg, Per Bastien, Pierre Berry, David Savini, Giorgio Graves, Sarah F. This paper is a tutorial exposition having the aim to enlighten these latter aspects of Maxwell's work. Indeed, with the paper 'On Governors' of 1869, he introduced the concept of feedback control system and moreover, with his essay on Saturn's rings of 1856 he set the basic principle of system identification. However, Maxwell was also a precursor of model identification and control ideas. One hundred and fifty years ago James Clerk Maxwell published his celebrated paper 'Dynamical theory of electromagnetic field', where the interaction between electricity and magnetism eventually found an explanation. James Clerk Maxwell, a precursor of system identification and control science Maxwell's version of the argument from design is also contrasted with modern 'intelligent-design' theory. His evangelical perspective provided encouragement for him to pursue a unified physics that supplemented his other philosophical, technical and social influences. This argument of Maxwell's is shown to be connected to his particular evangelical religious views. He postulated a variation on the design argument that focused on the unity of phenomena rather than Paley's emphasis on complexity. This essay argues that Maxwell saw a deep theological significance in the unification of physical laws. James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory famously unified many of the Victorian laws of physics. Mainly known for his unifying theory of electricity, magnetism and induction, James Clerk Maxwell also concluded that light was an electromagnetic wave, and was responsible for the first true colour photograph.īy design: James Clerk Maxwell and the evangelical unification of science.
