Advanced Theory of Electricity: And Magnetism, a Text-Book for Colleges, and Technical Schools (Classic Reprint)

To make the study of theoretical physics something besides a purely formal mathematical exercise, it is necessary to keep physical things always clearly and vividly in mind. It is comparatively easy to do this in the study of applied science, but it is extremely difficult to do it in the study of many of the unfamiliar topics which are discussed in this book. The character of the treatment in this book has been determined throughout by the desire to keep the students mind jammed up tight against physical things! The chapter on potential, for example, is kept within severely concrete limits, and the student who wishes to get an insight into the elementary mathematical theory of potential should read chapter IX ofF ranklin, MacN utt and Charles Calculus, published by the authors, South Bethlehem, Pa., 1913. The authors desire to express their appreciation of the great assistance which Professor R. L. Charles has rendered in the preparation of this book. JANUARY 16, 1915. W. S. FRANKLIN BARRY MA cN uxx.
