James Clerk Maxwell

    13. jún 1831 – 5. november 1879

    James Clerk Maxwell bol škótsky matematický fyzik, ktorého dielo zásadne zmenilo naše chápanie elektriny, magnetizmu a optiky. Formuloval kľúčové rovnice popisujúce tieto javy ako prejavy jediného elektromagnetického poľa. Jeho objavy dokázali, že elektrické a magnetické polia sa šíria priestorom ako vlny rýchlosťou svetla, čím zjednotil svetlo s elektrickými javmi a predpovedal existenciu rádiových vĺn. Maxwellove priekopnícke práce položili základy modernej fyziky, vrátane špeciálnej relativity a kvantovej mechaniky, a jeho vplyv na fyziku 20. storočia je porovnávaný s vplyvom Newtona a Einsteina.

      Ella and her brother, Miro, are orphans, their parents killed long ago in the ongoing struggle against the mad Emperor. From the day Ella witnesses an enchanter using his talents to save Miro from drowning, she knows what she wants to be. But the elite Academy of Enchanters expects tuition fees and knowledge. Determined, Ella sells flowers and studies every book she can. Meanwhile, Miro dreams of becoming one of the world's finest swordsmen, wielding his nation's powerful enchanted weapons in defense of his homeland. A dark force rises in the east, conquering all in its path, and Miro leaves for the front. When the void Miro left is filled by Killian, a charming stranger from another land, Ella finds herself in love. But Killian has a secret, and Ella's actions will determine the fate of her brother, her homeland, and the world.

      Focusing on the revolutionary field theory of electricity and magnetism, this book distills Maxwell's extensive Treatise into a clear overview, presenting his original words and mathematics. It illustrates how the four fundamental Maxwellian equations emerge from his broader theories, culminating in the wave theory of light as a consequence of electromagnetic field theory. With numerous examples and illustrations, along with Howard Fisher's explanatory notes, the text is accessible even to those without calculus knowledge, making Maxwell's concepts comprehensible to a wider audience.
