Dare to elaborate why Maxwell's equations got better, and the use cases in the gaming industry which improved thanks to dropping them?

- esturk 2y agoAssuming this is not a tongue in cheek question, you can read about it more here: https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/8173/did-maxwell-originally-write-his-equations-using-quaternions https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/8173/did-maxwell-ori... The answer also includes a link that shows many other representations including Einstein's "4d generally covariant tensor calculus". The point is that the most common formulation today is not the one Maxwell made (with 12 equations). The idea is preserved, but it was Gibbs and Heaviside that formulated the current 4 equation representation.
