I want to include a glossary-like appendix into one document I wrote (basic-level overview of magnetism).  I planed to include a chart at the beginning of the glossary to depict relations between explained terms.

It proved harder than expected. I have doubts about almost everything... Maybe you want to comment or advise. The idea is not to provide rigor, but to provide some orientation.

Here is what I have so far:

Like your diagram  +1

But basic??

phew!

I like the part where you differentiate between the field (at every point) and the function at a single point.

you could add tensor fields to the scheme.

Ha ha... tensors... I would not know what to write about them further in the glossary

I am thinking to remove surface integral of scalar field - I don't know if it is used anywhere in magnetism. At the moment I keep it for symmetry
