Abstract
Maxwell's equations explain all phenomena of classical electrodynamics, magnetism, and optics the way Newton's equations of motion describe classical mechanics. Maxwell introduced the theoretical description of electromagnetic waves and fostered a deeper understanding of the behavior of light.
