Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Electrical Theory and the Problem of the Universe Physical Point of View: With Mathematical Appendices The primary aim of this treatise is to develop as complete a presentation of the existing state of electrical theory as can be effected without demanding, on the part of the reader, any further mathematical attainments than the elementary acquaintance with simple methods which may be regarded as the minimum equipment of the student of physics. The subject has therefore been developed from the physical, rather than the mathematical, point of view, and, except where it has been possible to arrive at the required results by quite simple and elementary mathematical methods, physical illustrations and explanations have been employed in place of analytical demonstrations. In the few oases where this has not been possible, the results obtained by means of mathematical analysis have been stated in as simple and untechnical a form of words as was possible. I believe that the course adopted will make the work of use to a wider range of physical students than if it had been addressed only to readers familiar with modem mathematical analysis, and that it will give the electrical engineer sufficiently clear physical concepts of the actions in the electromagnetic field to enable him to apply them to the design of electrical apparatus and machinery, and to avoid the errors, and consequent loss of time, which have frequently resulted from the lack of them. Although there are no mathematical difficulties in the text, it has been found impossible, without unduly limiting the scope of the treatise, to avoid the inclusion of occasional sections containing somewhat difficult reasoning in reference to considerations of an abstract character. These sections have been printed in large type, so that they may be deferred to a second reading, or omitted altogether by those who find them too difficult. Mathematical as well as unmathematical readers should derive benefit from the physical method of presentation adopted, and, in order to increase the value of the work to the former class, the more important mathematical points arising in connection with the text have been dealt with in appendices.
