Beschreibung
This book introduces Maxwell's equations as early as possible to promote greater understanding of the unity of electromagnetism. This book, which won plaudits when it was first published for its innovative approach, is now available in an updated and improved second edition. The driving force behind this text is the need for a modern presentation of the unity of electromagnetism based on the premise that electromagnetism is Maxwell's field equations in the same way as Newton's Laws of motion are classical mechanics. Thus, instead of the usual historical development of the subject, this book introduces the student to Maxwell's field equations at the earliest opportunity in order that they serve as a basis for everything that follows. Familiarity with the basic facts and laws of electricity and magnetism is assumed, with a brief review given in the text. Each chapter contains numerous worked and unworked problems which assist the reader in assessing their understanding of the theory. In this second edition, several sections have been extensively revised to allow for clearer presentation, and the text is enhanced with all new illustrations.
