Description
A comprehensive graduate-level textbook on classical electromagnetism, this book offers a modern and mathematically precise perspective on the subject. It debunks four common misconceptions that can hinder a deep conceptual understanding of electromagnetism, providing a corrective to traditional teaching methods. The book covers major topics in electromagnetism, including electrostatics, dielectrics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, geometric optics, special relativity, gauge theory, and point charge. Wald's aim is to explain key concepts clearly and concisely, while forgoing extensive collections of examples and applications. By reformulating the subject in a modern light, this textbook aims to bring teaching up to date with our current understanding of electromagnetism, providing students with a deeper conceptual grasp of the topic.
