Text: "Helmholtz theorem for antisymmetric second-rank tensor fields and electromagnetism with magnetic monopoles." Unlike Maxwell's equations, where four-vector potential is sufficient, the equations of electromagnetism with magnetic charge-current density require the use of two different four-vector potentials. A vector is constructed if its divergence and curl are known; the divergence determines its longitudinal part and the curl of the vector determines its transverse part. Magnetic monopoles may possibly be produced by standing scalar waves in a physical ferromagnetic material. American Journal of Physics. 52(4), Apr. 1984. p. 354-358.
