I.1. What is this book all about?

Oliver Heaviside wrote in the introduction to one of his publications that reviewers do not have patience to read a whole book and rather form their opinions based on parts which they actually read (their opinions in general, substantially affect publisher’s decision to publish or not). Thus, to make reviewers task easier, he writes detailed summary of his work.
Fortunately, this book will be published regardless of reviewers’ opinion. However, I want to satisfy some readers of my previous books who asked “well, but what was so new in there?’. My naivety led me to think if they read something for a first time, they will consider this to be “new”. However, they were wary, knowing they have not read “everything” and just assumed I could have copied ideas from other works which they have not seen.
My objective is to present either new issues and information or present them more clearly than already available in some basic textbooks e.g.:
‒ “The Feynman Lectures on Physics”
‒ David J. Griffiths, - “Introduction to Electrodynamics”
‒ John David Jackson – “Classical Electrodynamics”
This book does not include clarifications of basic terms which are sufficiently described in above listed and other easily available publications. If sources of information are not referenced, they should be treated as author’s own ideas (some similar ideas may have been presented elsewhere but unknown to the author). Comments regarding errors in textbooks and other publications should be treated as new since they were not pointed out earlier, but they adversely affect education and popularization of science.
Comments regarding errors are substantial in correct understanding of problems, but they are not didactically beneficial while specific correct solution is discussed since they may blur and elongate whole explanation.

Taking this into account – new ideas, errors explanation and some interesting facts from science history are discussed in separate chapters as:
- Interesting historical facts regarding Maxwell’s equations (I.2)
- New ideas (I.3)
- What is wrong and why (I.4)
- What is incorrectly interpreted (I.5)

Maxwell’s equations along with solutions are presented in separate chapters, where some important information is included/repeated from previous author’s books.
