An Elementary Treatise on Electricity
  • James Clerk Maxwell
  • Edited by William Garnett
  • Published online:

    First published in:
    1881
  • James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge, made major contributions to many areas of theoretical physics and mathematics, not least his discoveries in the fields of electromagnetism and of the kinetic theory of gases, which have been regarded as laying the foundations of all modern physics. This work of 1881 was edited from Maxwell's notes by a colleague, William Garnett, and had formed the basis of his lectures. Several of the articles included in the present work were also included in his two-volume Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), also reissued in this series. The preface indicates that the two works were aimed at somewhat different audiences, the larger work assuming a greater knowledge of higher mathematics. Maxwell had also modified some of his methodology, and hoped to encourage the reader to develop an understanding of concepts relating to electricity.

  • Fundamentals of Mechanics is a textbook intended for first year students of physics at undergraduate level. It deals with the principles and applications of mechanics which is taught as a core subject of physics. The range of topics covered in this book includes Galilean transformation, Newton's law of gravitation, vectors, centre of mass, moment of inertia and angular momentum. There are many review questions which are ideal for homework assignments. Moreover, the book is thoroughly illustrated with numerous figures to help demonstrate the key concepts. Key features:Provides detailed explanation of the basic concepts of mechanics; Includes solved examples and chapter-end exercises comprising both descriptive and non-descriptive questions; Contains 250 exercises of varying difficulties, from simple to difficult calculations.
