Covariant Form of The Inhomogeneous Wave Equation
See also: Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetismThe relativistic Maxwell's equations can be written in covariant form as
where J is the four-current
- ,
is the 4-gradient and the electromagnetic four-potential is
with the Lorenz gauge condition
- .
Here
- is the d'Alembert operator.

“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
