Originally published in 1910, this book contains a series of
lectures on the subject of electromagnetism, delivered by British
physicist and statistician Gilbert T. Walker, before the University
of Calcutta. Walker writes, 'The University of Calcutta did me the
honour early in 1908 to appoint me Reader, and asked me to deliver
a series of lectures upon some subject, preferably electrical,
which would be of use to the lecturers in the outlying colleges as
well as to the more advanced students in Calcutta'. Chapters are
detailed and broad in scope; chapter titles include, 'Vector
analysis', 'Applications of vectorial methods to magnetostatics'
and 'The electron theory of Lorentz applied to stationary media'.
These informative lectures capture the very vibrancy and dynamism
of the subject and explain the mathematics necessary for a full
understanding. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in electromagnetism, physics and the history of education.
Originally published in 1900, this book contains the text of the
Adams Prize-winning essay for 1899, which attempts to construct a
theory of the electromagnetic field 'consistent with the modern
interpretation of chemical, optical and magnetic phenomena in terms
of electrically charged particles'. Walker became an expert on the
science of climate and was knighted in 1924, and this early essay
is a good example of his early interest in electromagnetism. This
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
electromagnetism or the early work of Sir Gilbert Walker.
