Classical Electrodynamics

<p>Classical Electrodynamics captures Schwinger's inimitable lecturing style in which everything flows inexorably from what has gone before. This anniversary edition offers a refreshing update while still maintaining Schwinger’s voice.</p><p>The book provides the student with a thorough grounding in electrodynamics in particular and in classical field theory in general. An essential resource for both physicists and their students the book includes a Reader's Guide which describes the major themes in each chapter suggests a possible path through the book and identifies topics for inclusion in and exclusion from a given course depending on the instructor's preference.</p><p>Carefully constructed problems complement the material of the text. Classical Electrodynamics should be of great value to all physicists from first-year graduate students to senior researchers and to all those interested in electrodynamics field theory and mathematical physics.</p><p>The original text for the graduate classical electrodynamics course was left unfinished upon Julian Schwinger's death in 1994 but was completed by his former students and co-authors who have brilliantly recreated the excitement of Schwinger's novel approach. This anniversary edition has been revised by one of those original co-authors Kimball Milton.</p>
