The field, which applies mathematical principles similar to those in Einstein's theory of general relativity, will be described in an article to be published Friday (Oct. Introduces classical concepts of geometrical and physical optics with rigorous connections to fundamental theories of light--Fermat's principle, Huygen's principle, and Maxwell's equations. A simple example of the operation of the principle can be seen Using Huygens' theory and the principle of superposition of waves, the complex amplitude at a further point P is found by summing the contributions from each point on the sphere of radius r0.

This paper presents a brief history of electromagnetic theory from ancient times up to the work of Maxwell and the advent of Einstein's. The article will appear in the magazine's . In physics it could come under Huygens Principle. You can click 'look inside' to see the first couple of pages. The Chaos theory is a field in mathematics theory, which studies the behaviour of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, an effect which is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. The arbitrary assumptions made by Fresnel to arrive at the Huygens–Fresnel equation emerge automatically from the mathematics in this derivation. THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF HUYGEN'S PRINCIPLE.
