让伯纳德·卡尔森津津乐道的是一位自学成才并引发电讯革命的工程师的传记。当你遇到身穿印有四个微分方程的T恤的学生时,你会知道自己已经进入电气工程系。他们会告诉你,这些方程式是以19世纪物理学家詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦(James Clerk Maxwell)的名字命名的。这位物理学家用这些方程式构建了将光、电和磁统一起来的理论。今天,麦克斯韦方程组被用于解决电子和电讯
Let Bernard Carlson relish a biography of a self-taught engineer who led to the telecommunications revolution. When you meet a student wearing a T-shirt printed with four differential equations, you know you’ve entered the Department of Electrical Engineering. They will tell you that these equations are named after 19th-century physicist James Clerk Maxwell. The physicist uses these equations to construct a theory that combines light, electricity, and magnetism. Today, Maxwell’s equations are used to solve the problems of electronics and telecommunications
