 This entire article needs major work. The article on Maxwell's equations is excellent and is what I was expecting to find when I came to this article. However, I realize that it's pointless to duplicate all the material in the Maxwell's equations article and put it into this article. As a result, this article should be very short and serve mostly to redirect the reader to the Maxwell's equations article. However, the two items of classical electrodynamics that are not strictly part of the Maxwell's equations, the Lorenz force law and Newton's laws, should be mentioned in this article. Perhaps a list with very short descriptions of the concepts contained in classical electromagnetism belongs in this article, that then redirect the reader to other pages to learn more. The term ""classical electromagnetism"" is a high level term that embodies a huge field of phenomena. As a result, I believe this article should have a high-level, descriptive tone (no equations) and then link to other pages heavily.   "
