The book also provides a thorough discussion of vector field theory which emphasizes the rotational invariance of the dot and cross products, together with div, grad, and curl, and thus gives a clear physical motivation for the use of those constructs to describe electric and magnetic fields. Unlike many competing books, Maxwell's Equations & the Principles of Electromagnetism covers topics such as advanced potentials, retarded fields, forces on dielectric liquids, antenna theory, and Faraday rotation"--Provided by publisher UR - http://www.books24x7.com/marc.asp?bookid=21548 UR - http://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=327500 UR - https://cornell-library.skillport.com/skillportfe/main.action?assetid=21548 UR - http://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=327500 ER -
