Abstract
Maxwell's equations for fields with sources in media in which the dielectric constant and permeability are unity are written in terms of a spinor notation which resembles the one used for Dirac's equation for the electron. One can introduce Green's functions and expansions in terms of complete sets of orthogonal functions, analogous to those used in the quantum theory of the electron, to solve Maxwell's equations in more compact form than in terms of the conventional vector notation.
