If Maxwell's equations were a piece of hardware, most of us would be eager to see what's inside the box. But you won't find the literary equivalent of a physical teardown because the subject is ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 62, No. 4 (Apr., 2002), pp. 1369-1382 (14 pages) Consider an inverse source problem for Maxwell's equations which arises in determining locations of epileptic ...

The 2014 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility will be held Aug. 3-8 in Raleigh, NC. In addition to the extensive workshops, tutorials, experiments and demonstrations, ...

When you think of art, you might think of portraiture, landscapes, or other kinds of paintings. But mathematics can feel artistic at times, too. We’ve all seen gorgeous Mandelbrot fractals, and less ...

Earlier this week I caught the 6.30 a.m. train from Bristol to London to attend the second day of “Unifying physics and technology in light of Maxwell’s equations” at the Royal Society. It was a ...

The physical nature of light is an intriguing scientific mystery as it behaves like a wave in free space and as a particle when it interacts with matter. The theoretical work on light as an ...

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 ...

In this paper we propose and investigate some edge element approximations for three Maxwell systems in three dimensions: the stationary Maxwell equations, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, and the ...
