Michael Faraday; Class Act

A person who started from nothing to something turned out to be one of the most remarkable mathematicians in the entire century. Faraday was an apprentice books-smith, and he was the caretaker of his family. Trying to make a living to support his family while attending Tatum's lectures is indeed great dedication. He was able to pursue his interest and nurture his family. The fact that he lived during the Industrial Revolution is what encourage him to discover something on his own. For instance, the cotton gin and voltaic piles were invented. This one question he sought to figure out is whether magnetism can produce electricity. I think his equation was simple enough for me to understand versus the other 4 equations. It made logically sense that whenever a magnetic force increases/decreases and the faster the rate of increase/decrease the more electricity it produces. Electricity to me is probably one of the top resources in the world; we use it to power almost everything.. ipods, televisions, lamps, washing/drying machines, etc.
