Published posthumously in 1888, this treatise by the first
Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge explores and explains
the fundamental principles and laws that are the basis of
elementary physics. Maxwell was at the forefront of physics and
mathematics during the nineteenth century and his pioneering work
brought together existing ideas to give 'a dynamical theory of the
electromagnetic field'. This work inspired not only the
applications of electromagnetic waves like fibre optics but also
Einstein's theory of relativity. The text explains many of Newton's
laws and the unifying concepts that govern a body and its motion.
The increment in the complexity of topics allows one to build a
solid understanding of the accepted laws of mathematical physics
that explain topics like force, work, energy and the centre mass
point of a material system. This logical guide and instruction is
as timeless as the laws of physics that it explains.
