The Electromagnetic Field Equations of Maxwell

B. Hague

Chapter 8 in An Introduction to Vector Analysis For Physicists and Engineers, 1970, pp 110-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract One of the most striking examples of the success of vector methods is provided by the theory of the electromagnetic field. Although Maxwell introduced the fundamental vector ideas into the theory, he did not make any use of vector analysis in manipulating his equations, relying entirely upon the usual lengthy cartesian methods. It is to Heaviside, Lorentz and many later workers that we must turn for the exclusive adoption of the concise vector equations and their treatment by purely vectorial methods.
