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.
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.
