- 4.2: The Free Maxwell Field
- Our approach to CED thus far is unusual inasmuch as we have effectively defined, classified and transformed the electromagnetic field at a small region of space-time without having used the Maxwell equations. This is, of course, an indication of the effectiveness of our definition of the field in terms of active Lorentz transformations.
