Earth''s Magnetosphere - Formed By the Low-Latitude Boundary Layer

Starting with Newton's law, this book examines Maxwell's equations and subsidiary equations such as continuity, constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation; Helmholtz' theorem, and Poynting's theorem, among other methods for understanding the interaction of solar wind with the magenetosphere.
