Classical Electromagnetic Theory

by Jack VanderLinde

Book Overview

Accentuates the relation of electric and magnetic theories. An extensive chapter on the solution of Laplace's equation explores most techniques used in electro- and magnetostatics including conformal mappings and separation of variables in unusual coordinate systems. Covers the use of image charges; introduces Green's functions; provides an expansive treatment on radiation. Features an abundance of examples and exercises.

advanced text on electromagnetism

This is an advanced text on electromagnetism. It assumes that the student has already completed a course on elementary electromagnetism. It is recommended that the student study other elementary textbooks, e.g.,Beyond the Mechanical Universe by Olenick and Apostol, before tackling this book. A wide range of topics on electromagnetism is discussed. A student who has gone through this book should be ready for Jackson's classic standard text.
