Simpson offers readers a chance to watch one of the greatest minds in physics hard at work. In three papers in mathematical physics written between 1855 and 1864, James Clerk Maxwell grappled with his formulation of the theory of the electromagnetic field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume reproduces major portions of the text of Maxwell's classic papers on concepts that are key to both modern physics and the modern world. Through Simpson's engaginbg commentaries and notes and Anne Farrell's illustrations, readers with limited knowledge of math or physics as well as scientists and historians of science will be able to follow the emergence of Maxwell's ideas and to appreciate the magnitude of his achievement. This book includes a long biographical introduction that explores the personal, historical, and scientific context of Maxwell's book.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSeries Editor's Foreword\u003cbr\u003e Preface and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 Beginnings\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 On Faraday's Lines of Force\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 On Physical Lines of Force\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Selected Readings\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Illustration Credits\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656106733848,"sku":"9780813523637","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/maxwell-on-the-electromagnetic-field-a-guided-study-paperback-softback-9780813523637","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
