The study presented shows that the Galilean group, like the Lorentz group, is a group of exact symmetry of Maxwell's equation. The Galilean group differs in that, while the field transformations are linear and global in the relativistic case, they are nonlinear in the Galilean and, generally speaking, depend on the coordinates of the event through some weight functions.
