The final part of the path, leading from the Treatise to the equations, passes, surprisingly and delightfully, through Maxwell's presentation of the wave theory of light as a direct consequence of electromagnetic field theory. Maxwell's numerous clear physical examples and illustrations, and Howard Fisher's lucid explanatory notes, allow even those without a knowledge of calculus to understand the general features of electromagnetic theory, as Maxwell himself developed it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Clerk Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1888009535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781888009538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Lion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 6.77w x 0.63d","brand":"James Clerk Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571170889983,"sku":"9781888009538","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc7322f7-4685-434e-98fc-12e5ca9c7406.jpg?v=1738807453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-maxwellian-path-to-maxwells-james-clerk-maxwell-9781888009538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
