Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff)

Added: 1a2
The elegant mathematical formulations of Maxwell's equations were not developed by Maxwell. In 1884, [Oliver Heaviside]? reformulated Maxwell's equations using vector calculus. This change reinforced the perception of physical symmetries between the various fields with a more symmetric mathematical representation.
