Maxwell

In my pursuit of understanding Maxwell and his far reaching equations, I have undertaken the work of transcribing the the sections of his Treatise dealing with the derivation of his equations into modern notation in the hope that it will be more easily understood. I have made one pass at that and am not quite satisfied with the form I have come with and in the process of going back thru them. My intent is to publish those works here in the near future. For now I will leave a taste of my work for you to consider. This is a supporting article from Volume I of his treatise. Also, included is a key to the works. Keep in mind that this is a Work In Progress.

In February of 2022 I submitted an article by the title of "On Maxwell's Special Theory of Electromagnetism" to QEX for publication. It was accepted in March. I received the proof copy from QEX in July and began reviewing it and in addition to finding errors of mine and theirs, I found a significant flaw in in my presentation and needed a small addition to the paper to clear it up. Well, that resulted in Mexican Standoff, that ended in my retraction of the right to publish the article. A month or s ago, I contacted them and asked if they might reconsider after two and a half years and they replied that they no longer had the files. So, that chapter comes to an end and now I will publish it here. I take credit for burning my bridge with QEX for whom I have the greatest respect. The paper with some additions is below.
