For the trivia note, Maxwell originally formulated 20 equations, which he later reduced to 12. Oliver Heaviside later reduced these to the four equations we now call Maxwell's Equations.

I wish I had this many years ago when I took Calc 3. I did not really understand these concepts and struggled with them through various courses in Electromagnetic Theory (where I eventually did get it).

Grant, Thanks for a clearly presented discussion of Maxwell's equations that I have not seen before in anything on Maxwell. One thing that has always intrigued me is how Maxwell got from the observations and ideas of Faraday, Hertz and others to the mapping represented by his equations. I hope you will share any insights you have regarding that epic and much neglected transition to our current mapping of what is "real".

Wow. I wish I've seen this video when I was 19 and blindly grinding through math and physics classes: my next 2 years would be so much easier. Thank you! I also fully support going without sponsorships: the content you are producing is so good. Just keep them flowing.

Love the video! Made it good for me at 13 to understand!
p.s. do you know for an infinite sum where n starts at 0 and it is the sum of (1/(z^n)) is the absolute value of (z/(z-1))? I was playing around in math class and saw a trend that I'm not sure of. Thanks!

I came to math late in life. At 57 it takes me bit longer to understand. I just finished calc 3 at a local community college. The course ended before I could really wrap my head around Div, Curl, Stokes etc. These videos really help. Thanks for creating them.

I may not understand much but I do appreciate the presentations! Thanks
