The topics treated in this book are essentially those that a graduate student of physics or electrical engineering should be familiar with in classical electromagnetism. Each topic is analyzed in detail, and each new concept is explained with examples.The text is self-contained and oriented toward the student. It is concise and yet very detailed in mathematical calculations- the equations are explicitly derived, which is of great help to students and allows them to concentrate more on the physics concepts, rather than spending too much time on mathematical derivations. The introduction of the theory of special relativity is always a challenge in teaching electromagnetism, and this topic is considered with particular care. A large number of exercises are included.Contents:Mathematical IntroductionCharges and ElectrostaticsStationary Currents and MagnetostaticsInduction and Quasi-Stationary PhenomenaGeneral Discussion of Maxwell EquationsTheory of Relativity ITheory of Relativity IIRadiation from a Moving Point ChargeRadiation Damping and Electromagnetic MassRadiation from Periodic Charge and Current DistributionsLagrangian and Hamiltonian Formulations of ElectrodynamicsElectromagnetic Properties of MatterReadership: Advanced undergraduates and first year graduate students in physics.Key Features:The mathematical derivations are provided in detailIt is very comprehensive
