Comments on " Electromagnetism 1" by Ivor Catt

 

Index

The Animations were generated by Forrest Bishop to illustrate this approach to electromagnetic theory. It is most important that the reader of Electromagnetism 1 get familiar with them if the author is correct in his assertion that Electromagnetic Theory is not a mathematical subject, but should be learned by watching moving pictures, not by reading books. A decade or two ago the author spent six man months generating this series of animations (and more) on an Acorn Master, one of the early home computers. Forrest and he agreed that it would be simpler to start agin with today's computers rather than convert the originals, which Forrest has not seen.

 

When he first saw them, the author failed to notice that the animations can be expanded to fill the screen.

Riposte
I make the commitment that anyone wishing to counter any assertion made on this site will be guaranteed a hyperlink to a website of their choosing at the point where the disputed assertion is made.

(Possibly we need a standard word for this. I suggest "Riposte", or the symbol [R] .)

This commitment was made by me on my first website in 1998. Nobody has availed themselves of my commitment. This is obviously because nothing I write is controversial.
