"Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral, or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that. It makes no judgment."
Maya Angelou

Electricity and Magnetism (aka, e&m) is one of the corner stones of modern physics. First, it is a complete and concise theory that has achieved unparalleled experimental verification.

By complete I mean the equations are solvable (and have been solved), and by concise I mean that the entire theoretical foundation of e&m is given by four equations:

Maxwell's Equations
