Da Força Ao Tensor: Evolução Do Conceito Físico E Da Representação Matemática Do Campo Eletromagnético
DA FORÇA AO TENSOR: EVOLUÇÃO DO CONCEITO FÍSICO E DA REPRESENTAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA DO CAMPO ELETROMAGNÉTICO Cibelle Celestino Silva Orientador: Prof. Dr. Roberto de Andrade Martins Tese apresentada ao Instituto de Física Gleb Wataghin - UNICAMP para obtenção do grau de Doutor em Ciências. Campinas, 11 de outubro de 2002. Para Francisca e Francisco, minhas raízes e frutos. iii AGRADECIMENTOS Ao Professor Roberto Martins pela confiança, dedicação, paciência, estímulo e por tudo que tenho aprendido nesses anos de convivência. Ao Luciano pelo seu amor e companheirismo. À minha família por todo o amor e alegria. A todos os amigos e colegas que de alguma maneira ou outra estiveram ao meu lado nesta caminhada. E finalmente agradeço à FAPESP pelo apoio financeiro. iv Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o desenvolvimento paralelo dos conceitos físicos e do formalismo matemático usado para descrever o conhecimento eletromagnético no século XIX e início do século XX. Este estudo considera questões como os modelos de éter usados para descrever o campo eletromagnético, a simetria associada com os campos, as dimensões das grandezas físicas. Estudamos também a escolha entre o cálculo de quatérnions e vetores e o desenvolvimento do formalismo quadridimensional como a melhor maneira de descrever os fenômenos eletromagnéticos. Abstract: The aim of this work is to study the parallel development of the physical concepts and the mathematical formalism used to describe the electromagnetic knowledge in nineteenth and early twentieth century. This study takes into account issues such as the ether models used to describe the electromagnetic field, the symmetries associated with the fields, the dimensions of physical quantities. -

VOL. XII., No. S. I Whony set up and printed in Australia by "The Critic" Pty. Ltd., 125 Collins Street ••••• Hobart iJuut. 1931 I;nburt. WUli. THE i!;utr4tu!i ~r~nnl VOL. XII. JUNE, 1931. No.5. Editorial. -§- HE most reliable economists and financiers in Australia T are agreed that the present financial crisis is due chiefly to the fact that Australia has for many years past been bor rowing from abroad, principally from England, and has been spending this borrowed money in ways that have not been productive of much revenue. During the war, the country entered on a period of extravagant borrowing and spending. A loan would be raised, and subscriptions called for in Aus tralia and elsewhere, and when the repayment of that loan was due, the simple expedient was adopted of raising another loan to pay for the previous one. And so it has gone on. The extravagance of Governments, amounting practically to dishonesty, had its effects on prices and wages which con tinued to rise to absurd heights. Governments and unions boasted much of our Australian standard of living as if it were something to be proud of, but it was built on false foundations and was bound to collapse. The foolish attempt to make Australia a manufacturing country before its primary industries were properly developed, took the form of a complicated system of tariffs and bounties, which bolstered up some industries at the expense of others, and which assisted one State to the detriment of others, in stead of allowing industries to develop naturally as the demand for them arose. -

In the first chapter, we give a condensed review of the history of quaternions. The topic of the second chapter is solving quadratic and other quaternion equations. Many mathematicians have worked on solving various quaternion equations. How- ever, due to the complex nature of quaternions, the current "best" non-numerical result is a special case of quadratic quaternion equation presented in (Au-Yeung, 2003), which pales in comparison to what is known about equations in complex numbers. -

In chronological sequence they comprised the universities of Sydney (1850), Melbourne (1853) and Otago (1869), Canterbury University College (1873), the University of Adelaide (1874), Auckland University College (1882), the University of Tasmania (1890) and Victoria University College, Wellington (1899). In 1870 the University of New Zealand was created based on the London model. The University of Otago was allowed to retain its name but along with Canterbury, and subsequently Auckland and Wellington, it became a constituent college of the University of New Zealand. While it is true that the second half of the nineteenth century also saw the growth of a variety of civic university colleges in Britain, by 1900 only Manchester (1880), the University of Wales (1893), and Birmingham (1900) had become new universities in their own right. In hindsight the growth of university education in nineteenth century Australasia seems quite remarkable and worthy of closer study as a phenomenon in its own right. -

Page 1 of 434 Voices of a University Celebrating 125 Years at the University of Tasmania Distinguished Professor Don Chalmers Dr Bronwyn Meikle (Project Officer and Editor) Project Steering Committee:- Sir Guy Green AC KBE CVO, Emeritus Professor Michael Bennett Amanda Wotjowicz 2015 © The contributors Page 2 of 434 Acknowledgements To our Authors We thank each of our story authors for accepting our invitation, for writing their stories and for their constant support and enthusiasm throughout the 125 Stories project. Our authors’ efforts in our 125 Stories project fulfilled our aim to find stories about our University community and life, our academic and research achievements and our roles and achievements within our State, the nation and around the world. They are the source of the quality, humour, erudition and vitality of this 125 Stories collection. We acknowledge that they retain copyright in their works. To the 125 Advisory Committee The 125 Advisory Committee, under the chairmanship of Professor David Rich, organised over 100 special events to mark our 125th Anniversary. The 125 Advisory Committee also shaped the final 125 Stories project and provided support throughout, for which we thank them, with special thanks to Erin Mahoney. To our Project Officers We wish to warmly acknowledge the support of our Project Officers. We thank Charlotte Nicol for her research efforts in July and August 2014. We acknowledge the outstanding work of the 125 Stories Project Officer, Dr Bronwyn Meikle, who joined the project in August 2014. Bronwyn was not only involved with receiving and editing stories but also immersed in the detailed follow up with our contributors on amendments, feedback, additions and queries.
