Talk: "Perhaps I might explain this..." : The Toys and Humor of  James Clerk Maxwell,
Professor Dan Silver, Department of Mathematics & Statistics, USA.

Abstract: James Clerk Maxwell is remembered by generations of physics students for his profound insights about electricity and magnetism, summarized in a series of daunting equations. Maxwell also left  behind a collection of serious toys and a string of commendably funny  poems. We take a look at Maxwell's toys and humor, finding clues  about his modes of thought.
