AN INTRODUCTION TO CLASSICAL ELECTRODYNAMICS IBD

Sinopse

An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics covers the topics of Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics at the upper-level undergraduate level in physics or electrical engineering. áThis book tells the story of the historical development of electrodynamics, at the same time as introducing students to electrodynamics with vector calculus. This is the best treatment of the historical development of electricity, magnetism and electrodynamics I have ever seen. The breadth of the authors&rsquo, knowledge, together with their ability to summarize historical results in exceptionally clear terms, is wonderful. Developing electromagnetism historically makes many concepts easier to understand . ---á By an anonymous reviewer who is a senior professor at a major college or university.
