(Updated below) A recent issue of The Institute has an interesting article pointing out the role Oliver Heaviside played in developing Maxwell's equations as we know them today. Michael Geselowitz ...

You don’t have to know how a car engine works to drive a car — but you can bet all the drivers in the Indy 500 have a better than average understanding of what’s going on under the hood. All of our ...

More than one hundred and fifty years have passed since the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (1865). What would our lives be without this ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 67, No. 223 (Jul., 1998), pp. 947-963 (17 pages) This paper contains error estimates for covolume discretizations of Maxwell's ...

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the Einstein and the Newton of 19th century science. Maxwell's name is well known by every modern physicist and physics student. Maxwell's equations provide the ...

Discontinuous Galerkin methods represent a powerful and flexible class of finite element techniques that have gained prominence in the simulation of wave propagation phenomena governed by the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We will consider both explicit and implicit fully discrete finite volume schemes for solving three-dimensional Maxwell's equations with ...

Maxwell is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant men ever. His contributions to physics, through studies of electromagnetism and his proposal that light is a wave, are still extremely ...
