Abstract

[In this paper I present a historical inquiry on the relationship between physics and mathematics in electromagnetic theory around the nineteenth century. The investigation is within the domain of the history of physics. By essentially following Maxwell’s fundamental aspects of physics mathematics in his A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, some epistemological reflections will be put forth, as well as observations regarding the different scientific approaches between Faraday’s Experimental Researches in Electricity and Maxwell’s science.]
