Product Description

Originally published in 1891, and now part of the Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences series, this celebrated treatise details Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism that underpins much of modern physics. The theory inspired both Lorentz's theories on the electron and Einstein's theory of relativity.

The book that started the revolution in the field of E&M5
The book that started the revolution in the field of Electricity and Magnatism in 1871. Maxwell quantifed the observations made by Faraday and others and provided the blueprint for the 20th Centuries technical revolution.
