James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was the Einstein and the Newton of 19th century science. Maxwell's name is well known by every modern physicist and physics student. Maxwell's equations provide the ...
Discontinuous Galerkin methods represent a powerful and flexible class of finite element techniques that have gained prominence in the simulation of wave propagation phenomena governed by the ...
Maxwell is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant men ever. His contributions to physics, through studies of electromagnetism and his proposal that light is a wave, are still extremely ...
