This reference and workbook provides not only a complete survey of classical electrodynamics, but also an enormous number of worked examples and problems to show the reader how to apply abstract principles to realistic problems. The book will prove useful to graduate students in electrodynamics needing a practical and comprehensive treatment of the subject.
Classical Electrodynamics
Comprehensive graduate-level text by a distinguished theoretical physicist reveals the classical underpinnings of modern quantum field theory.
A revision of the defining book covering the physics and classical mathematics necessary to understand electromagnetic fields in materials and at surfaces and interfaces.
In this book we display the fundamental structure underlying classical electro dynamics, i. e. , the phenomenological theory of electric and magnetic effects.
The writing of this book leaves me indebted to my numerous colleagues and students over the years; the discussion with them led to greater clarity and depth. I am specially beholden to Prof. MLNarchal, Prof. SN Gupta, Prof.
This text advances from the basic laws of electricity and magnetism to classical electromagnetism in a quantum world. The treatment focuses on core concepts and related aspects of math and physics. 2016 edition.

force depends, conversely, also on the orientation of v, then Newton's law violates explicitly time-reversal invariance. In this case it happens that, if the trajectory y(t) obeys Eq.(6.72), the trajectory y∗(t) in general does not.
I want to compliment the author on the obvious care and expertise with which he assembled this text. If I were to teach a yearlong graduate-level electromagnetism course, I would use this book.
The new edition of this classic work in electrodynamics has been completely revised and updated to reflect recent developments in experimental data and laser technology.
