During the last 400 years, most scientists have relied on mathematics for the development of their<br />

inventions or discoveries. However, one great British scientist, Michael Faraday, did not make use of<br />

mathematics. Faraday, the son of a poor blacksmith, was born in London in 1791 and had no education<br />

beyond reading and writing.<br />

In 18<strong>12</strong>, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphrey Davy. Later, Faraday<br />

became a greater scientist than Davy, making the last years of Davy’s life embittered with jealousy.<br />

Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to produce movement. Then<br />

Faraday became interested in the relationship between electricity and magnetism. In 1831, he discovered that<br />

when a magnet is moved near a wire, electricity flows in the wire. With <strong>thi</strong>s discovery, he produced a machine<br />

for making electricity called dynamo. Faraday then went on to show how electricity affects chemical<br />

substances. Because Faraday believed that money should be given to the poor, when he grew old, he was<br />

very poor. However, Queen Victoria rewarded him for his discoveries by giving him a stipend and a house. He<br />

died in 1867.<br />
