Electrodynamics: A Concise Introduction

This book, suitable for use in a one-semester introduction to electrodynamics for
advanced undergraduates, emphasizes relativity and symmetry in developing the the-
ory. By focusing immediately on the Lorentz invariance of Maxwell's equations, the pre-
sentation makes many advanced topics readily accessible to the student. After a brief
review of the history of electrodynamics, the book presents the experimental basis for
the four Maxwell equations, both in vacuo and in dielectric and magnetic media. The
principle of relativity is then used to unify the equations into a pair of covariant field
equations, and steady-state solutions of these are treated both analytically and numer-
ically. The final chapters discuss radiation in a vacuum and in dielectric media; the
motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields; radiation by moving changes; and,
briefly, extensions to quantum theory. Mathematica scripts on the included diskette pro-
vide graphic solutions to many of the examples discussed in the text.... more on http://
