The connection between the electric and magnetic fields is
fundamental to our understanding of light as electromagnetic waves.
The magnetic vector potential lies at the heart of this relation.
The idea emerged in the early days of research in electromagnetism
but was dismissed for more than half a century until the
formulation of quantum electrodynamics. The magnetic vector
potential is a pivotal concept with ties to many aspects of physics
and mathematics. This book unravels the nature of the magnetic
vector potential, highlights its connection to quantum mechanics
and superconductivity, and explores the analogy with hydrodynamics.
