Heaviside-Lorentz Units
Introduction Heaviside-Lorentz units (named for O. Heaviside and H.A. Lorentz) constitute a particular extension of CGS units which are most often useful in theoretical electrodynamics. As a practical system of units, Heaviside-Lorentz falls short due to most measureable quantities being excessively small or big for intuition. Neverless, Heaviside-Lorentz showcases the simplicity and beauty of the…

Green’s Function
Introduction In the expansive universe of mathematical physics, Green’s functions play an essential role. While the concept may seem abstract, a closer look reveals that Green’s functions offer us a way to solve some of the most complex problems in physics with elegant precision. Definition of Green’s Function Green’s function is defined as the impulse…
