Introduction to Electrodynamics 3rd Edition  (English, Hardcover, David J. Griffiths)

For junior/senior-level electricity and magnetism courses.

This book is known for its clear, concise and accessible coverage of standard topics in a logical and pedagogically sound order. The Third Edition features a clear, accessible treatment of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, providing a sound platform for the exploration of related applications (ac circuits, antennas, transmission lines, plasmas, optics, etc.). Its lean and focused approach employs numerous examples and problems.

Salient Features

• Friendly, informal style.
• Clear focus on basic electromagnetic theory, providing a sound platform for future exploration of related applications (such as ac circuits, antennas, transmission lines, plasmas, optics, etc.).
• Large collection of problems: short, highly-focused problems are placed immediately following the relevant text section while longer/more broadly-based problems are at the end of the chapter.
• More extensive coverage of radiation theory than most texts at this level.
• NEW - Not a radical revision but rather a fine-tuning of the second edition, building on successful features of the first two editions.
• NEW - Every sentence has been reviewed for clarity and precision, and revised as needed, particularly regarding very difficult topics.
• NEW - Ambiguous or awkward notation has been changed—for example, the same letter r is no longer used for spherical and cylindrical coordinates and the text now provides a more careful introduction of the script-r notation for the vector from source point to field point.
• NEW - Slightly expanded sections on energy, momentum and angular momentum.
• NEW - The Helmholtz theory is now covered in an appendix rather in the main body of the text.
• NEW - New and revised examples and problems.
• NEW - Updated references to accessible current literature for students wishing to explore recent developments in this field.
