Synopsis "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism V1 (1881)"
""A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism V1"" is a seminal work on the subject of electricity and magnetism, authored by the renowned physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Originally published in 1881, this book is a comprehensive treatise on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, and it remains a classic reference work for students and researchers in the field. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering electrostatics, electric currents, and magnetism. Maxwell begins by introducing the basic concepts of electric charge and the electric field, before moving on to discuss the behavior of electric currents in conductors and the properties of magnetic fields. He then presents his famous equations of electromagnetism, which describe the interplay between electric and magnetic fields and the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Throughout the book, Maxwell employs a rigorous mathematical approach, using calculus and vector analysis to derive his results. However, he also provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the underlying physical principles. In addition, he includes historical notes and references to the work of other scientists, giving readers a sense of the evolution of the field over time. Overall, ""A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism V1"" is a landmark work in the history of physics, laying the foundations for much of the modern understanding of electromagnetism. Its clear and systematic presentation of the subject matter, combined with its historical context and mathematical rigor, make it an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of electricity and magnetism.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1881 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
