Abstract :
In searching for various representations of the electromagnetic fields, some recent interest has been placed on the use of path integrals. These in some sense propagate fields from previous times to sometime of interest by all possible spatial paths appropriate to the time difference to the present. This paper reviews some standard formulations and compares them to the path-integral formulation to give an explicit interpretation for electromagnetics.
