Produktbeschreibung

Before his death in 1879 at the age of 48, Clerk Maxwell had made major contributions to many areas of theoretical physics and mathematics. He is generally considered the third most important physicist of all time, after Newton and Einstein. These collected papers show the wide range of his interests.
