Abstract
This article presents an unpublished manuscript by Alfred M. Bork that was written in 1976 as an introduction to a collection of Maxwell's papers on electromagnetism which was never published. It provides encouragement to the reader to study the original works of Maxwell on electromagnetism, and this encouragement is as timely today as in 1976.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
