In 1865 James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879) published this work, "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" demonstrating that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at ...

Current issues are now on the Chicago Journals website. Read the latest issue. Since its inception in 1912, Isis has featured scholarly articles, research notes and commentary on the history of ...

So darkly complex, so fabulously remote from the familiar things of human existence is science’s probing into the fundamental secretae of the universe—of light, electricity, gravity, matter—that the ...

DR. CURRY bases his work, which is almost entirely analytical, on Maxwell's equations of the electromagnetic field. These equations suffice to account for the phenomena of electromagnetism, and the ...

Maxwell's great paper of 1865 established his dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field. The origins of the paper lay in his earlier papers of 1856, in which he began the mathematical elaboration ...

THIS second part of Dr. Boltzmann's account of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory is written from a somewhat different point of view from the first part. The first part presents the theory from the ...
