5.0 out of 5 stars
wanna master Jackon?,
By
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields (Paperback)
If you wanna master Jackson's classic bible, this is absolutely a prerequisite!!.
Most people love Griffith, but this is more than it. Some people complain about this book which is too mathematical, but math is the language of E&M. Without strict, precise math, you gonna get nothing from E&M. This book, I bet, will solidify your all needed mathematical background to conquer Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics. Specially, the concept on conductor is explained very well with very nice examples in Ch.6 and dielectrics in ch.10 is well treated. Useful and powerful solved examples are available on the right place. The only not well treated topic is a radiation part, but Griffith will compensate for this. Again, I'll strongly recommend this book for anyone who will continue graduate study in physics, whatever he will major.

Nicely done.,
By
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields (Paperback)
I believe there are basically two breeds in the world of EM textbooks. One is obviously J.D. Jackson and the other E.M. Purcell. If Griffiths follows Purcell's approach, I'd say Wangsness is in the style of Jackson (of course no direct comparison is possible, Jackson does not really discuss statics anyway). Wangness is very much _detailed_ and provides ample examples, many of them kindly worked out. I am not sure if this book provides strong background in vector calculus, though. I always had troubles getting some geometrical intuitions. I guess I have learned more from Purcell in this respect. Of course, there are many other great books such as Lorrain/Corson, Feynman volume 2 and such. Should be nice to look at those as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent practical and accessible reference.,
By
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields (Paperback)
This book is indeed very modular, if you have any previous EM training and the required mathematical skills you won't have any difficulty using this as a practical, working reference. As a consequence of the modularity, there is some repetition of the information but it's a small price to pay for the completeness of the individual modules. One of my favorite features of the writing is the clear references to previous results making it easy to review the references (and completely eliminates any need to search the index). I far prefer this to the usual method to make only vague references to previously developed concepts and is one reason why I find this is a good reference work. Overall, the level is more advanced than Cook though better written. Some of the development of the material is rather novel (e.g., Amperes Law) and considerably more approachable than corresponding works by Smythe (ugh), Peck, or Stratton. I recommend Feynmans lectures in addition to this book. I find the two complement each other quite nicely.
