A Mathematical Tour of the Electromagnetic Force These are chapters of a thesis that have been edited into book form. There are physical phenomena in everyday life that are taken for granted simply because the explanation of their behavior closely matches the expectations of the observer. For some of these phenomenon, an extensive body of theoretical knowledge exists which matches the experimental observations. The electromagnetic force is one of these phenomenon. The observer can envision empty space filled with electromagnetic waves, and describe these waves and their effects on matter with mathematical precision. Devices can be constructed, based on electromagnetic theory, that confirm our belief that the electromagnetic phenomena are well understood — that is, observations are produced consistent with expectations. With further investigation new questions arise, requiring a reformulation of the theory which supports these observations.
