/// This solver provides methods to derive electromagnetic properties from potentials
/// and fields in a coordinate-free manner, suitable for relativistic electrodynamics.
///
/// # Theoretical Basis
///
/// In Geometric Algebra (Space-Time Algebra), Maxwell's equations are unified into a single equation:
/// $\nabla F = J$
/// where:
/// * $F = \nabla A$ is the electromagnetic field bivector.
/// * $A$ is the vector potential.
/// * $J$ is the source current density.
/// * $\nabla$ is the vector derivative (gradient).
