Talk:Maxwell's equations
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
[edit] Does this article actually explain anything?
This article doesn't have any useful substance (at least for the uninitiated) and certainly does not qualify as being written in "simple English". Sure, the opening sentence is a simple explanation, but the article itself is just a quick reference sheet for those who already understand the theories and mathematics involved. The "regular" English version of the article is much more informative, particularly for the non science experts, because it explains what they represent and why they are useful. It certainly isn't what one expects from a "simple" explanation.
I don't like being so harsh when it's clear that someone put some effort into this (not just copying and pasting from the English article and then even updating it), but it isn't at all helpful for those of us seeking a "simple" explanation; the English article explains it better (though I'd still have to jump around a little and take a few years of calculus to really understand it, I suppose).
