More about the book
Focusing on the revolutionary field theory of electricity and magnetism, this book distills Maxwell's extensive Treatise into a clear overview, presenting his original words and mathematics. It illustrates how the four fundamental Maxwellian equations emerge from his broader theories, culminating in the wave theory of light as a consequence of electromagnetic field theory. With numerous examples and illustrations, along with Howard Fisher's explanatory notes, the text is accessible even to those without calculus knowledge, making Maxwell's concepts comprehensible to a wider audience.
