The main magnetic field of the Earth is a complex phenomenon. To understand its origins in the fluid of the Earth's core, and how it changes in time requires a variety of mathematical and physical tools. This book presents the foundations of geomagnetism. The material is mathematically rigorous, but is logically developed and has consistent notation, making it accessible to a broad range of readers. Students and researchers will find this an invaluable resource in the appreciation of...
