Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism brought about what Einstein called "the greatest change in the axiomatic basis of physics since Newton." But Maxwell's aim was never to construct an axiomatic theory. Instead, the Treatise presents an argument which, beginning with the most characteristic electrical and magnetic phenomena, and interpreting them as manifestations of continuous fields of electric and magnetic energy, culminates in Maxwell's theory of light as a wave motion within those fields. The argument of the Treatise is not straightforwardly demonstrative but is a dialectical one that can be challenging to discern among the many topics presented. This book undertakes to extract and expound the principal path of Maxwell's dialectical thinking.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Download or read book Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640 1940 written by Ivor Grattan-Guinness and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-02-11 with total page 1042 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains around 80 articles on major writings in mathematics published between 1640 and 1940. All aspects of mathematics are covered: pure and applied, probability and statistics, foundations and philosophy. Sometimes two writings from the same period and the same subject are taken together. The biography of the author(s) is recorded, and the circumstances of the preparation of the writing are given. When the writing is of some lengths an analytical table of its contents is supplied. The contents of the writing is reviewed, and its impact described, at least for the immediate decades. Each article ends with a bibliography of primary and secondary items. - First book of its kind - Covers the period 1640-1940 of massive development in mathematics - Describes many of the main writings of mathematics - Articles written by specialists in their field
Download or read book The Maxwellians written by Bruce J. Hunt and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Clerk Maxwell published the Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in 1873. At his death, six years later, his theory of the electromagnetic field was neither well understood nor widely accepted. By the mid-1890s, however, it was regarded as one of the most fundamental and fruitful of all physical theories. Bruce J. Hunt examines the joint work of a group of young British physicists--G. F. FitzGerald, Oliver Heaviside, and Oliver Lodge--along with a key German contributor, Heinrich Hertz. It was these "Maxwellians" who transformed the fertile but half-finished ideas presented in the Treatise into the concise and powerful system now known as "Maxwell's theory."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book recounts the developments of fundamental electrodynamics from Ampère's investigation of the forces between electric currents to Einstein's introduction of a new doctrine of space and time.

A richly documented, clearly written, and abundantly illustrated history of the subject.
Download or read book Electricity and Magnetism written by Elisha Gray and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Electricity and Magnetism" by Elsha Gray Elisha Gray was an American electrical engineer who co-founded the Western Electric Manufacturing Company. His expertise made him uniquely qualified to write a comprehensive book about his field. Electricity and Magnetism contains many examples of electromagnetic phenomena like induction, Hertzian waves, telluric currents, etc. All of these phenomena were used in a very ingenious way in various inventions without being able to have a theoretical explanation of their nature which Gray attempts to explain.
