![]() ![]() Some results are simply stated rather than worked out due to their complexity, though the author is up front about this.You won't get a mathematically complete understanding of using Green's functions to solve boundary condition problems (e.g., Dirichlet conditions).The physics content is self-contained, so I'd argue even freshmen level E&M knowledge isn't necessary, though it would only help a learner in thinking "like a physicist" to help solve problems.īeing a junior-level undergraduate text, it is not thorough nor does it go into much depth, at least compared to graduate level texts. Equations often use a convenient notation (you know that script $r$?) that makes them appear less complicated, yet is straightforward to expand.Īs for required background, I would say the only thing really required is a thorough understanding of multi-variable calculus.The author frequently tells you what he is doing and provides motivation, unlike the ubiquitous graduate-level text by Jackson.The writing is extremely friendly and is excellent for self-study. ![]() ![]() To my knowledge this text is ubiquitous in junior-level E&M courses. Griffith's Introduction to Electrodynamics must be mentioned. ![]()
