SUPPRESSION ALERT: James Clerk Maxwell's Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism

[ZeframCochrane]

Has anyone noticed a slight shortage of actual quaternions in these books?

They appear to have the standard gradient, divergence, curl, and similar vector operators written out by component or even using the
modern "del" operator notations.  In a quick search, I found references to "Tait's Quaternions" but no actual quaternion equations.
What pages have the good stuff?  (Being a clueless amateur, I need to be "shewn" things that a professional over-unitarian
could spot immediately.)

The basic development of the electromagnetism equations appears to be roughly same as in modern textbooks, but written out fully as
vector components.

The quaternions are first mentioned in Volume 1 on page 349 in Art. 303;

On page 236 of book II, the section "Quaternion Expressions for the Electromagnetic Equations" starts by defining ordinary 3-component vectors for all the fields and other quantities.  The (vector) (del) (vector) and (scalar) (del) (vector) operations were shown in book I page 28 to correspond to the modern curl and negative divergence (convergence) operations, respectively.  This seems to result in the same field equation components as in modern texts.

In an expanded electrodynamics, one might expect additional fields or potentials, or additional interactions between the fields, such as in these papers.

Suppresson? They're back online. I don't believe in this NWO conspiracy thing. Heck, it's been like 2 years already and I haven't seen the MIB once...notonce since they packed away my lab equipment.
It would be interesting to discuss this book!

This seems to result in the same field equation components as in modern texts.

Yes, however it has more detail and shows the required scalar component, which is often ignored within normal vector calculations.. so it includes a wider range of consideration for the required phenomena to occur, giving the quaternions a higher symmetry application.
