Not a physicist. How would someone go from these to maxells equations? Wondering just how big a leap is required?

- codethief 3y agoThis is line 6. It basically implies[0] a specific form for the electromagnetic Lagrangian from which Maxwell's equations follow immediately. For the Lagrangian and the derivation of Maxwell's equations see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of_classical_electromagnetism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant_formulation_of_cla... . [0]: The author is being very sloppy – tons of additional structure and additional assumptions are silently implied by his "9 lines".
