  Born-Infeld (BI) electrodynamics is motivated by the infinite self-energy of
the point charge in Maxwell electrodynamics. In BI electrodynamics, an upper
bound $b$ is imposed on the electric field, thus limiting the self-energy of
the point charge. This is a review paper in which we motivate the BI Lagrangian
and from it derive the field equations. We find the stress-energy tensor in BI.
We calculate the potential due to the point charge in BI. We find order
$b^{-2}$ wave solutions to BI in $1+1$ dimensions. We examine BI plane waves
normally incident on a mirror.
