[Elecraft] Maxwell's Equations.

[Kevin Rock]

I have always wondered how he condensed the original twenty equations in  
twenty unknowns down to just four of them.  The quaternions he used  
initially were out a favor with the physics community of the day so he  
needed to get them into vector form.  Heaviside did a good job but how do  
you characterize a system with twenty unknowns in four equations?  What  
has been lost in the translation?
