Abstract

(I)THE first of the books under notice presents *o a clear and well-arranged exposition of the foundations of the mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism. It covers the usual ground in electrostatics, magnetism and electrodynamics; and there is an appendix on the equations of Lagrange and Maxwell. Vectors are introduced and used from the beginning. The book is intended for students of electrical engineering at the University of Brussels and, in consequence, more attention than usual is paid to applications of all kinds. The book may be recommended to honours students, who would find the simple and detailed explanations useful.
