[PDF] Classical Electrodynamics - Introduction to Electrodynamics Fourth Edition by David J. Griffiths

Introduction to Electrodynamics

Description :-

This is a textbook on electricity and magnetism, designed for an undergradu-

ate course at the junior or senior level. It can be covered comfortably in two

semesters, maybe even with room to spare for special topics (AC circuits, nu-

merical methods, plasma physics, transmission lines, antenna theory, etc.) A

one-semester course could reasonably stop after Chapter 7. Unlike quantum me-

chanics or thermal physics (for example), there is a fairly general consensus with

respect to the teaching of electrodynamics; the subjects to be included, and even

their order of presentation, are not particularly controversial, and textbooks differ

mainly in style and tone. My approach is perhaps less formal than most; I think

this makes difficult ideas more interesting and accessible.
