The revision of this highly acclaimed text is designed for use in advanced physics courses--intermediate level juniors or first year graduates. Basic knowledge of vector calculus and Fourier analysis is assumed. In this edition, a very accessible macroscopic view of classical electromagnetics is presented with emphasis on integrating electromagnetic theory with physical optics. The presentation follows the historical development of physics, culminating in the final chapter, which uses four-vector relativity to fully integrate electricity with magnetism.

4.0 out of 5 stars
The former review is for the wrong book.,
This review is from: Classical Electromagnetic Radiation (Hardcover)
Hi folks I just wrote this to caution you that the former reviewer is inadverently reviewing the MECHANICS book by the same author. To be short I would give this book four stars. It does a little bit of static phenomena and boundary value problems and jumps to radiation justifying the title. The level of the book is in between a grad course and an undergrad course. I think it is ideal for self study for grad students.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for beginning graduate students,
By
This review is from: Classical Electromagnetic Radiation (Hardcover)
This book covers many important topics in electromagnetic theory including many areas in Optics, like diffraction,..etc. It fills a gap between the undergrad text books and the more advance graduate EM texts (like Jackson's,.. etc). The materials are easy to follow and understand with no lack of mathematical rigors. Execllent text for beginning graduate students.

3.0 out of 5 stars
A great book if you already know the material,
This review is from: Classical Electromagnetic Radiation (Hardcover)
This is definitely one of those books that gets better the longer it has been since you used it. I used this book in a first year graduate e&m course and found its explanations to be over simplified. The chapters leading upto and including electromagnetic waves are fairly standard and decent. However, I felt like the treatment of more advanced topics, like diffraction, was inadequate. Now that I am past this book and have used most of the topics in my job, I find that its a pretty decent reference text. Since its less "mathy" than Jackson's, its easier to find the results and read a quick paragraph about it. However, for actually learning the material the first time, I would not recommend this book.
