A student’s guide to Maxwell’s equations
Author: Daniel Fleisch
Publisher: Cambridge University Press, 2008
Call number: QC670.F596, Lee Wee Nam Library, (Level 4), Science Collection

Maxwell’s Equations are four of the most influential equations in science: Gauss’s law for electric fields, Gauss’s law for magnetic fields, Faraday’s law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell’s Equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory of light.

The strangest man : the hidden life of Paul Dirac, quantum genius
Author: Graham Farmelo
Publisher: Faber, 2009
Call number: QC16.D57F233, Lee Wee Nam Library, (Level 4), Science Collection

“Fascinating reading… Graham Farmelo has done a splendid job of portraying Dirac and his world. The biography is a major achievement.” -Peter Higgs, Times (UK)

“A page-turner… [Farmelo] has a briliant style, explaining advanced theoretical concepts in phyiscs extremely clearly… sparkling and racy. He is entertaining and has a wry sense of humor, so the book will appeal to a very wide readership.” – Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, Times Higher Education (UK)

“A must-read for anyone interested in the extraordinary power of pure thought. With this revelatory, moving and definitive biography, Graham Farmelo provides the first real glimpse inside the bizarre mind of Paul Dirac.” -Roger Highfield, Editor, New Scientist

“[A] meticulously researched and wonderfully humane biography… Farmelo succeeds triumphantly in elucidating for non-scientists the immediate impact and lasting significance of Dirac’s discoveries.” -Sunday Telegraph

“In the group portrait of genius in 20th century physics, Paul Dirac is the stick figure. Who was he, and what did he do? For all non-physicists who have followed the greatest intellectual adventure of modern times, this is the missing book.” -Tom Stoppard

“Fascinating… [A] suberb book.” -John Gribbin, Literary Review
