About this title

Synopsis

""An Introduction to Electrodynamics: From the Standpoint of the Electron Theory"" is a classic textbook on the principles of electromagnetism, written by the physicist Leigh Page and first published in 1922. The book presents a thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts and mathematical principles of electromagnetism, with a particular focus on the electron theory of electricity. The text covers a range of topics, including electromagnetic waves, electrostatics, magnetostatics, and electromagnetic induction. It also explores the mathematical tools used in the study of electromagnetism, such as vector calculus and differential equations. Throughout the book, Page emphasizes the importance of the electron theory of electricity, which was a relatively new and controversial idea at the time of the book's publication. He argues that this theory provides a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the behavior of electric charges and electromagnetic fields than previous theories, such as the fluid theory of electricity. Overall, ""An Introduction to Electrodynamics"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers in physics and engineering who are interested in gaining a thorough understanding of the principles of electromagnetism. Despite its age, the book remains a classic and influential work in the field of electromagnetism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
