Information About
This volume contains essays on the formal aspects of electromagnetic theory. It is devoted to what might be called foundations research, a critical examination of the foundations of a branch of physics. The contributors to this volume are united by the common hope that electromagnetic theory is not yet in its final form, and remains open to modifications as the need arises to address an ever wider class of phenomena. It is healthy to subject the foundations of any branch of a science to scrutiny..
