No, his mathematical knowledge did not extend to trigonometry and he could deal with only simple algebra. However, his work was intuitively mathematical. James Maxwell, who used Faraday's work to formulate his equations which form the basis for modern electromagnetic phenomena, wrote that he considered Faraday "to have been in reality a mathematician of a very high order – one from whom the mathematicians of the future may derive valuable and fertile methods."
