"If only everyone knew Maxwell's contributions" according to Marc. Everyone knows who Einstein is and E=MC^2, and newton and his basic contribution to physics. But the average person has no idea who Maxwell is or how prolific his contributions to physics and modern society.This is a classic book and a great read. I don't have the math background for a good part of it, but it is still worthwhile reading the theorems and his commentary and discussion.As a reprint this is clean, though I wish someone would typeset this to a less cluttered font and presentation.Worthwhile in anyone's library.. This book is the fountainhead of physics I suggest that some reviewers miss the significance of Maxwell's book Electricity and Magnetism.First, it introduced "Dimensional Analysis" which is the standard against which ALL physics models must be tested.Equations are maths.Units are politics.Dimensional Analysis is physics.( If a model doesn't fit Maxwell's Dimensions, it is not correct.)Secondly, Maxwell established the framework for Quantum Mechanics when he showed that statistics, rather than two-body math, is required to model multi-body systems.Thirdly, Maxwell established the framework for modern atomic theory by postulating dime. A classic that still is worth reading Whenever I teach a course which touches on electric or magnetic phenomena I find myself going through this book. It works well with the early chapters of Jackson, in particular, and Smythe. Maxwell knew the subject thoroughly, up to the 1870s (and much of this material has since dropped out of courses and almost out of memory), his thinking was both profound and clear, and he may well be the best writer on physics in the English language. His proofs are economical and elegant. Oh yes - this book is still a good reference for the treatment of spherical harmonics and multipole expansions in Car
