It should be added that Kemmer wrote a very useful book:

Vector Analysis: A physicist's guide to the mathematics of fields in three dimensions N. Kemmer Cambridge Univ. Press, 1977

In the 1960-1970s there was much interest in surface studies. This book considers several topics not usually covered in a text on vector analysis, in particular, those concerning the behavior of fields at boundaries. Also, the illustrations are quite good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zorpoid (talk • contribs) 15:46, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just add it under H1 Publications. Kr 17387349L8764 (talk) 08:53, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kemmer suggested the names neptunium and plutonium. Any evidence or sources for that? The German profile page makes no mention of his proposals. I know Seaborg says "we proposed..." in a preface, but none of my bibliography mentions Kemmer. Kr 17387349L8764 (talk) 18:29, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
