Great, clear, concise, readable textbook

This book is GREAT. Absolutely fantastic. The writing is very concise and illuminating, but clear enough to be understood by anyone with the appropriate background in calculus. The examples and problems are short and symbollic and result in a deep geometrical understanding of electrostatics and electrodynamics. I studied this book in college in highly recommend it for undergraduate physics majors.

Hands down the best text book ever...

After 11+ years of undergraduate and graduate physics education, I have to say that Griffiths is *the* best text book I've ever used. In any field. Reading it is like having a conversation with the instructor. The problems are fantastic (for the level of the text) and the examples are perfect. If all text books were of this quality, my education would have been much more enjoyable. The text is no replacement for Jackson, since it never attempts electrodynamics at Jackson's level. But for its level of difficulty, you can find no better text. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

Don't know electrodynamics? BUY THIS BOOK

If you have never used a textbook by Griffiths, then stop wasting your time and buy this one. I am a current physics graduate student who did NOT use this textbook during undergraduate study and I am left wondering why... In Introduction to Electrodynamics, the reader is expected to have a basic understanding of vector operations, and a firm grasp of calculus. Beyond this, the text clearly and accurately explains the fundamentals of electrodynamics, from steady-state electric fields (up to the concept of multipole expansions), to steady-state magnetic field topics, and even more advanced topics. The entire book is increadibly readable and contains many pre-worked examples of pivitol problems. Any undergraduate student of Physics should not be without this text. If you are a graduate student currently hacking your way through Jackson's Electrodynamics, you ALSO should not be without Griffith's E & M. This book is without a doubt, the best introduction to electromagnetic phenomena around.

If I was a millionaire.....

I am a graduate student of physics.I used this book as an undergraduate. It was invaluable. I understood what Electricity and Magnetism means.I used this book to study for the GRE physics test. It was invaluable. I wouldnt have made it without it. Everything was there, self contained, crystal clear.I used this book as a supplement to Jackson to the graduate school. Jackson was inpenetrable some times and this book paved the way for the more advanced material.I used this book to prepare for the comprehensive examinations of my physics department. The book was invaluable. It refreshed my memory (by that time I knew the material!) and I went quickly through solved and unsolved problems. I passed the exams.Isn't that enough ? How more usefull a book can be ? If you are a physics major you ought to yourself to buy this book. Dont complain later when you move to Jackson. If I was a millionaire I would buy this book to all the physics major of the world. Enough said.
