James Clerk Maxwell and Modern Physics

Bag om James Clerk Maxwell and Modern Physics

From the Preface. THE task of giving some account of Maxwell's work -- of describing the share that he has taken in the advance of Physical Science during the latter halt of this nineteenth century -- has proved no light labour. The problems which he attacked are of such magnitude and complexity, that the attempt to explain them and their importance, satisfactorily, without the aid of symbols, is almost foredoomed to failure. However, the attempt has been made, in the belief that there are many who, though they cannot follow the mathematical analysis of Maxwell's work, have sufficient general knowledge of physical ideas and principles to make an account of Maxwell and of the development of the truths that he discovered, subjects of intelligent interest. Maxwell's life was written in 1882 by two of those who were most intimately connected with him, Professor Lewis Campbell and Dr. Garnett. Many of the biographical details of the earlier part of this book are taken from their work....
