One of the greatest theoretical physicists of the 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell is best known for his studies of the electromagnetic field. These 101 scientific papers, arranged chronologically in two volumes, testify to Maxwell's scientific legacy and offer modern students of mathematics and physics stimulating reading. 197 figures. 39 tables. 1890 edition. Unabridged republication of the 1890 edition.
Theory of Heat by James Clerk Maxwell This classic sets forth the fundamentals of thermodynamics and kinetic theory simply enough to be understood by beginners, yet with enough subtlety to appeal to more advanced readers, too.
Matter and Motion by James Clerk Maxwell Great physicist's elegant, concise survey of Newtonian dynamics, from simple particles to systems beyond complete analysis. Considered one of the finest elementary scientific treatises ever written. Notes and Appendixes.
A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 1 by James Clerk Maxwell Volume 1 of an important foundation work of modern physics. Brings to final form Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and rigorously derives his general equations of field theory.
Analytical and Canonical Formalism in Physics by Andre Mercier Variational principles are usually discussed individually; however, this compact but far-reaching work surveys the variational principles of several areas and examines their relationships. 1959 edition.
A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. 2 by James Clerk Maxwell Volume 2 of an important foundation work of modern physics. Brings to final form Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and rigorously derives his general equations of field theory.
