Covariant Form of The Homogeneous Wave Equation
These relativistic equations can be written in contravariant form as
where the electromagnetic four-potential is
with the Lorenz gauge condition:
where
is the d'Alembertian operator. (The square box is not a typographical error; it is the correct symbol for this operator.)

“O my Brothers! love your Country. Our Country is our home, the home which God has given us, placing therein a numerous family which we love and are loved by, and with which we have a more intimate and quicker communion of feeling and thought than with others; a family which by its concentration upon a given spot, and by the homogeneous nature of its elements, is destined for a special kind of activity.”

“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,

Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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.”
