Re: field transformations



Joe,
You would be interested in the text:

"Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Waves", Paul C. Shedd, Prentice Hall,
1954.

In this volume Shedd proposes to deduce all of Maxwellian E&M from
Coulomb's law and special relativity (plus some conservation and
continuity axioms). This is an intermediate text from the 50's and makes
no overt use of tensors or four-vectors.
