The Theory of Electricity and Magnetism - Being Lectures on Mathematical Physics #262652

The theoretical writings of Hertz, Heaviside, Cohn and others have resulted in the systematization of Maxwell's theory and have made possible improvements in the mode of its presentation and nomenclature not contemplated by him. The extremely important and original contributions of Mr Oliver Heaviside are unfortunately but little adapted to the use of the student on account of their very voluminous character as a whole, as well as of an extreme conciseness of expression in individual parts. The few brilliant chapters on theoretical matters left by Hertz are hardly by way of exposition, but rather of a summing up of the conclusions of the theory.
