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 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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 41, No. 5 (2004), pp. 1682-1708 (27 pages) In this paper, we propose a nonoverlapping domain decomposition method for solving the three-dimensional Maxwell ...

Discontinuous Galerkin methods represent a powerful and flexible class of finite element techniques that have gained prominence in the simulation of wave propagation phenomena governed by the ...

IN NATURE of February 5, Dr. C. V. Drysdale attempts a simplification of Maxwell's electrodynamic equations, on the grounds that these in their original form are difficult to comprehend and to apply, ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
