Hello PF!
I am trying to find out how the formula for the magnetic field of a dipole magnet is derived, so far I've delved into maxwell equations, but I am finding the math too complicated to read. My state's education system is very far behind, and I am not accustomed to characters and symbols that aren't x, y, integrals, dy/dx etc...
From wikipedia (External magnetic field produced by a magnetic dipole moment):

What does the bold m and r represent? And how has this formula been derived?
My attempts have found that this may be an integration of Coulomb's law.
