0 the science of magnetism and electrical currents
Sharks have all the senses that people do, but they also have a sixth sense: electromagnetism.
But if it were so, we might apparently hope, by experiments in electromagnetism, to obtain absolute motion, and to place in evidence the translation of the earth relatively to the ether.
This is accomplished through the utilization of the phenomena of electromagnetism.
In order to discretize the fundamental laws of electromagnetism properly, it is important to appreciate their link with differential geometry and algebraic topology (cohomology theory).
The book is strong on history, not only of plasma, but also of atomic physics and electromagnetism.
I aim to convey the richness in subtle mathematical features displayed by apparently 'simple' problems in computational electromagnetism.
We also realize a significant difference between the models for acoustics and electromagnetism.
I was pleased to witness a surge in research activities into mathematical aspects of computational electromagnetism in recent years.
