>One of Heaviside's achievements is that he converted Maxwell's twenty mathematical formulas into a more accessible set of just four, which nowadays are taught at all universities as "Maxwell's equations".
Anyone know of an accessible guide to the translation of Maxwell's quaternions to Heaviside's vectors? Was Heaviside's compression of Maxwell's work — lossless?
- BlueTemplar 2y agoI doubt it, as pseudovectors are kind of a mess ? But you can also further compress those 4 equations into just a single one by using slightly more complicated geometry ! http://www.av8n.com/physics/maxwell-ga.htm http://www.av8n.com/physics/maxwell-ga.htm
