 *UPDATE* I am continuing to use the book in winter term for the second term of E&amp;M. Lots of pages have now fallen out and you can see the notches on each page in most parts of the book. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Awful quality. Buy the paperback version at least--though I have seen pages coming out on that one too. Better yet, buy the e book. unfortunately I like having a physical book...-original review-The content is good, and fairly well organized. I didn't ever struggle to learn from the text and use lecture as supplement.But as others have said, the physicality of the book is terrible. I have the standard hardcover version and have only been using it since late September (it's December now). The spine crackles incessantly and loudly when the book is moved about, and the glue seems to weakly hold the pages--a huge section in chapter 4 of my text is falling out and one page is fully detached already. It wasn't like this at the start of the term, so I think carrying the book in my backpack caused damage.If you buy the hardcover, don't carry the book around. Just download a copy from the internet and keep that on your phone or tablet or whatever. If you need to buy this book for a class (let's face it, who doesn't?), buy the paperback version if you can.

 <p>Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015</p><p><div><p>Griffiths made a great job writting this book, with his informal way of explaining things everything is simpler without loosing much rigor or oversimplifying things. There are plenty of examples provided, and many analogies with familiar problems or situations to make the subject easier to grasp.<p>Its important to understand that this book is strictly theoretical, meaning that its not engineering oriented, you will not find chapters on topics engineers might be interested in, namely transmission lines, antenas and such. There are really no engineering applications on the problems or topics covered throughout the book, the only one I can remember of is waveguides and they are really briefly covered in a hypothetical way basically to describe TM, TE modes and such. So bottom line: this is strictly a physics book, but a really good one!</p><p>The one thing I never really liked is the notation the author uses, he claims that using weird characters simplifies things up, however I noticed that using weird unconventional characters just helps to confuse the reader, things are harder to remember and you have to keep going back to check what a specific symbol means, it didnt make sense to me even if the author's argument claims to be much more efficient.</p><p>I own several books on EM, namely:</p><p>-Engineering Electromagnetics-- by Hayt<br />-The Electromagnetic Field-- by Shadowitz<br />-Elements of Electromagnetics-- by Sadiku<br />-Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics -- by Cheng<br />-Fields and Waves in Communication Electronics-- by Ramo<br />-Principles of Electrodynamics- by Schwarz<br />-Electromagnetism-- by Grant<br />-Physics Vol. 2 (Electromagnetism)-- by Resnick<br />-Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics-- by Fawwaz<br />-Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics-- by Balanis<br />-A Student's Guide to Maxwell equations-- by Fleisch</p><p>...and of course this book by Griffiths, and thats not counting the textbooks on electromagnetic subtopics such as microwaves, antennas, etc, and let me tell you that this book by Griffiths coupled with Fleisch's guide to Maxwell equations is in my most humble opinion the best introduction to get a solid understanding in electromagnetism, if you are an engineer and would like to know about engineering applications there are other books you can use, since this book by Griffiths covers no engineering applications, the one by Balanis and Ramo are quite good, but before you move on to those you need a solid foundation and thats what Griffiths provides.</p><p>As for the physical book itself, I have one major complaint, I didnt like the coating material used on the covers, I dont know if everyone is in the same situation I am or maybe my book has a defect, but mine came in with a matte velvet-like coating on the covers, the book looks ok but it just sticks to my fingers, feels like theres a layer of grease or adhesive on the top of each cover, my fingers felt sticky everytime I grabbed the book. After a lot of elbow grease and some isopropyl alcohol I managed to get rid of the coating, now the book has the standard glossy cover every other hardcover book has, althou it doesnt look as good, at least I can hold it without getting that greasy feeling on my fingers.</p><p>Also, I must agree with the other reviewers: the book is breaking apart!</p>

</p></div></p></div><div><p>Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2022</p><p><div><p>Griffiths rocks, but I think his quantum book was easier to follow. The notation in this book can be a bit annoying to remember and he backwards references a bit too much for my liking. On the other hand, he supplies so many examples and the popularity of his books is both a blessing and a curse; solutions are readily available online which can help good students and hurt bad ones.

 </p></div></div><div><p>Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017</p><p><div><p>I especially enjoyed the derivation of the electromagnetic field of an arbitrarily moving point charge and the derivation of the electromagnetic field of a point charge moving with constant velocity by eliminating the retarded time. This was in the last chapter Potentials and Fields. The emphasis is on the physical fields E and B rather than on the constituent fields D and H. For instance, the magnetic field of a uniformly magnetized sphere is obtained by using the bound current density curl M and the bound surface current M x n. Electromagnetic fields in matter are given a cursory but well-presented treatment. Everything is explained and tied together well. For instance, Ampere's Law and div B=0 are derived from the Biot-Savart law. Explanations of how what physically happens is the same regardless of what frame of reference is used to do the calculations are well done. The derivation of the stress energy tensor in the chapter on Conservation Laws is also well done. The transformation of the fields under a Lorentz transformation are obtained and the 4-vector potential Au and the field tensor Fuv are presented in the chapter Electrodynamics and Relativity near the end of the book. There are many entertaining carefully carried out calculations that prove a point. For instance, in one reference frame a long wire carries a current but is uncharged and creates a magnetic force that creates a force on a point charge moving parallel to the wire. But in the reference frame moving with the point charge, the magnetic field exerts no force but there is an electric field created by the fact that the positive and negative charges in the wire have different Lorentz contraction factors so that in this reference frame the wire has a linear charge density and creates an electric field which creates the same force (when appropriately Lorentz transformed) upon the point charge. The author also shows that a rectangular current loop in a constant uniform electric field parallel to one side of the loop has a linear (“hidden”) momentum.

 </p></div></div><div><p>Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021</p><p><div><p>I first was sent what seems to be a very poor reprint of the book where the binding falls off the spine, and cracked the first time I opened the book. No reference formula in the front or back cover and the paper is not your usual textbook paper with very low quality. I got sent a new copy and the difference in quality is remarkable, the new copy also contains the reference formulae in the front and back covers and has much better paper.<p> So just be careful! don't be afraid to return it and hopefully you won't be as unlucky as I was!</p>

 </p></div></div><div><p>Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022</p><p><div><p>So, I dropped out of being a physics major in the late-90s...I am not 100% sure, but I think the class I dropped was using an older edition of this book. Fast forward a couple decades, and I realized the physics bug never completely left me. I bought this book for self study. It's absolutely EXCELLENT! Griffiths does an outstanding job of explaining everything, and the problems are very worthwhile (from easy to extremely challenging). Would absolutely recommend this book for anyone interested in self-study.

 Great book.
 
</p><p>Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2018</p><p><div><p>It is a well-written book. Some Physics textbooks were written drily without good literary skills, with sections of wording the intended meanings of which were frustratingly unclear, or lacking in depth and detail. Not this one.<p>I'm still reading it, so cannot give a full review. But it's promising - incidentally, on the day I opened it, for a while it lay on my desk in front of a window and for a period of time a soft flow of light shone onto its cover and illuminated the formulae there, then I thought "This is how electrodynamics can be learnt.".</p>

 This well-known undergraduate electrodynamics textbook is now available in a more affordable printing from Cambridge University Press. The Fourth Edition provides a rigorous, yet clear and accessible treatment of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory and offers a sound platform for explorations of related applications (AC circuits, antennas, transmission lines, plasmas, optics and more). Written keeping in mind the conceptual hurdles typically faced by undergraduate students, this textbook illustrates the theoretical steps with well-chosen examples and careful illustrations. It balances text and equations, allowing the physics to shine through without compromising the rigour of the math, and includes numerous problems, varying from straightforward to elaborate, so that students can be assigned some problems to build their confidence and others to stretch their minds.

 Editorial Reviews

 Review

 'Griffiths’s book has come to dominate the American market in junior/senior E&M/electrodynamics textbooks to an extent that I have never seen any other textbook dominate any other undergraduate market - Griffiths’s love of electrodynamics shines from every page. Not merely clear and effective - it is joyful.' Dan Styer, Oberlin College, Ohio

 'An ideal textbook for an intermediate Electrodynamics course for undergraduate students of Physics.' David Miller, University of Chicago

 'An excellent book, very well organized and readable. The students loved it. It is a time-tested and highly optimized book.' Steve Hagen, University of Florida

 'Griffiths’s classic undergraduate textbook on Electromagnetism has dominated the teaching of the subject at the advanced undergraduate level.' Shyam Erramilli, Boston University

 'An excellent book about this classical topic written with Griffiths’s customary clarity and in his very engaging style, so that, students tell me, it is a real pleasure to study from' Eric Laenen, University of Amsterdam

 Book Description

 This is a re-issued and affordable printing of the widely used undergraduate electrodynamics textbook.

 3.0 out of 5 stars Great text, terrible binding
 Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2015
 *UPDATE* I am continuing to use the book in winter term for the second term of E&M. Lots of pages have now fallen out and you can see the notches on each page in most parts of the book. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Awful quality. Buy the paperback version at least--though I have seen pages coming out on that one too. Better yet, buy the e book. unfortunately I like having a physical book...-original review-The content is good, and fairly well organized. I didn't ever struggle to learn from the text and use lecture as supplement.But as others have said, the physicality of the book is terrible. I have the standard hardcover version and have only been using it since late September (it's December now). The spine crackles incessantly and loudly when the book is moved about, and the glue seems to weakly hold the pages--a huge section in chapter 4 of my text is falling out and one page is fully detached already. It wasn't like this at the start of the term, so I think carrying the book in my backpack caused damage.If you buy the hardcover, don't carry the book around. Just download a copy from the internet and keep that on your phone or tablet or whatever. If you need to buy this book for a class (let's face it, who doesn't?), buy the paperback version if you can.

  5.0 out of 5 stars No wonder why this is the standard undergraduate electromagnetics book!!
  Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015
  Verified Purchase
  Griffiths made a great job writting this book, with his informal way of explaining things everything is simpler without loosing much rigor or oversimplifying things. There are plenty of examples provided, and many analogies with familiar problems or situations to make the subject easier to grasp.

  Its important to understand that this book is strictly theoretical, meaning that its not engineering oriented, you will not find chapters on topics engineers might be interested in, namely transmission lines, antenas and such. There are really no engineering applications on the problems or topics covered throughout the book, the only one I can remember of is waveguides and they are really briefly covered in a hypothetical way basically to describe TM, TE modes and such. So bottom line: this is strictly a physics book, but a really good one!

  The one thing I never really liked is the notation the author uses, he claims that using weird characters simplifies things up, however I noticed that using weird unconventional characters just helps to confuse the reader, things are harder to remember and you have to keep going back to check what a specific symbol means, it didnt make sense to me even if the author's argument claims to be much more efficient.

  I own several books on EM, namely:

  -Engineering Electromagnetics-- by Hayt
  -The Electromagnetic Field-- by Shadowitz
  -Elements of Electromagnetics-- by Sadiku
  -Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics -- by Cheng
  -Fields and Waves in Communication Electronics-- by Ramo
  -Principles of Electrodynamics- by Schwarz
  -Electromagnetism-- by Grant
  -Physics Vol. 2 (Electromagnetism)-- by Resnick
  -Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics-- by Fawwaz
  -Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics-- by Balanis
  -A Student's Guide to Maxwell equations-- by Fleisch

  ...and of course this book by Griffiths, and thats not counting the textbooks on electromagnetic subtopics such as microwaves, antennas, etc, and let me tell you that this book by Griffiths coupled with Fleisch's guide to Maxwell equations is in my most humble opinion the best introduction to get a solid understanding in electromagnetism, if you are an engineer and would like to know about engineering applications there are other books you can use, since this book by Griffiths covers no engineering applications, the one by Balanis and Ramo are quite good, but before you move on to those you need a solid foundation and thats what Griffiths provides.

  As for the physical book itself, I have one major complaint, I didnt like the coating material used on the covers, I dont know if everyone is in the same situation I am or maybe my book has a defect, but mine came in with a matte velvet-like coating on the covers, the book looks ok but it just sticks to my fingers, feels like theres a layer of grease or adhesive on the top of each cover, my fingers felt sticky everytime I grabbed the book. After a lot of elbow grease and some isopropyl alcohol I managed to get rid of the coating, now the book has the standard glossy cover every other hardcover book has, althou it doesnt look as good, at least I can hold it without getting that greasy feeling on my fingers.

  Also, I must agree with the other reviewers: the book is breaking apart!

  Griffiths rocks, but I think his quantum book was easier to follow. The notation in this book can be a bit annoying to remember and he backwards references a bit too much for my liking. On the other hand, he supplies so many examples and the popularity of his books is both a blessing and a curse; solutions are readily available online which can help good students and hurt bad ones.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Clear explanations and easy to follow but rigorous derivations
  Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017
  Verified Purchase
  I especially enjoyed the derivation of the electromagnetic field of an arbitrarily moving point charge and the derivation of the electromagnetic field of a point charge moving with constant velocity by eliminating the retarded time. This was in the last chapter Potentials and Fields. The emphasis is on the physical fields E and B rather than on the constituent fields D and H. For instance, the magnetic field of a uniformly magnetized sphere is obtained by using the bound current density curl M and the bound surface current M x n. Electromagnetic fields in matter are given a cursory but well-presented treatment. Everything is explained and tied together well. For instance, Ampere's Law and div B=0 are derived from the Biot-Savart law. Explanations of how what physically happens is the same regardless of what frame of reference is used to do the calculations are well done. The derivation of the stress energy tensor in the chapter on Conservation Laws is also well done. The transformation of the fields under a Lorentz transformation are obtained and the 4-vector potential Au and the field tensor Fuv are presented in the chapter Electrodynamics and Relativity near the end of the book. There are many entertaining carefully carried out calculations that prove a point. For instance, in one reference frame a long wire carries a current but is uncharged and creates a magnetic force that creates a force on a point charge moving parallel to the wire. But in the reference frame moving with the point charge, the magnetic field exerts no force but there is an electric field created by the fact that the positive and negative charges in the wire have different Lorentz contraction factors so that in this reference frame the wire has a linear charge density and creates an electric field which creates the same force (when appropriately Lorentz transformed) upon the point charge. The author also shows that a rectangular current loop in a constant uniform electric field parallel to one side of the loop has a linear (“hidden”) momentum.

  I first was sent what seems to be a very poor reprint of the book where the binding falls off the spine, and cracked the first time I opened the book. No reference formula in the front or back cover and the paper is not your usual textbook paper with very low quality. I got sent a new copy and the difference in quality is remarkable, the new copy also contains the reference formulae in the front and back covers and has much better paper.

  So just be careful! don't be afraid to return it and hopefully you won't be as unlucky as I was!

  5.0 out of 5 stars Great for self-study
  Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022
  Verified Purchase
  So, I dropped out of being a physics major in the late-90s...I am not 100% sure, but I think the class I dropped was using an older edition of this book. Fast forward a couple decades, and I realized the physics bug never completely left me. I bought this book for self study. It's absolutely EXCELLENT! Griffiths does an outstanding job of explaining everything, and the problems are very worthwhile (from easy to extremely challenging). Would absolutely recommend this book for anyone interested in self-study.

  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 30, 2018

  It is a well-written book. Some Physics textbooks were written drily without good literary skills, with sections of wording the intended meanings of which were frustratingly unclear, or lacking in depth and detail. Not this one.

  I'm still reading it, so cannot give a full review. But it's promising - incidentally, on the day I opened it, for a while it lay on my desk in front of a window and for a period of time a soft flow of light shone onto its cover and illuminated the formulae there, then I thought "This is how electrodynamics can be learnt.".

 Unlike most textbooks on electromagnetic theory, which treat electricity, magnetism, Coulomb's law and Faraday's law as almost independent subjects within the framework of the theory, this well-written text takes a relativistic point of view in which electric and magnetic fields are really different aspects of the same physical quantity.
 Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this volume offers a superb exposition of the essential unity of electromagnetism in its natural , relativistic framework while demonstrating the powerful constraint of relativistic invariance. It will be seen that all electromagnetism follows from electrostatics and from the requirement for the simplest laws allowable under the relativistic constraint. By means of these insights, the author hopes to encourage students to think about theories as yet undeveloped and to see this model as useful in other areas of physics.
 After an introductory chapter establishing the mathematical background of the subject and a survey of some new mathematical ideas, the author reviews the principles of electrostatics. He then introduces Einstein's special theory of relativity and applies it throughout the rest of the book. Topics treated range from Gauss's theorem, Coulomb's law, the Faraday effect and Fresnel's equations to multiple expansion of the radiation field , interference and diffraction, waveguides and cavities and electric and magnetic susceptibility.
 Carefully selected problems at the end of each chapter invite readers to test their grasp of the material. Professor Schwartz received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught physics there and at Stanford University. He is perhaps best known for his experimental research in the field of high-energy physics and was a co-discoverer of the muon-type neutrino in 1962. He shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon M. Lederman and Jack Steinberger.

  Self-studier of theoretical physics
  5.0 out of 5 stars Superb
  Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2011
  Verified Purchase
  This book is truly superb. I am a self-studier of physics and found this to be one of the best books on any subject in physics that I have read. Somehow it strikes a balance between explaining ideas at an introductory level yet takes a very mature and deep insight into the subject. As other readers have mentioned, the development of almost all of electrodynamics from Coulomb's Law, the Principle of Special Relativity, and a little 'intuition' and 'aesthetics' makes this book transcend the level of other physics texts and even makes it deeply philosophical.

  Very few words are wasted, and the careful reader can really master the field of electrodynamics with this book. Little prerequisite knowledge is assumed; probably multivariable calculus (with vector analysis) and introductory newtonian mechanics are all that are absolutely needed. One possible exception is that the discussion on special relativity is a little hard to follow if you have never had any exposure to it before. Thus, I would suggest having a good grasp of SR, especially including four-vectors (and ideally four-tensors) if possible before undertaking this book. One definite criticism I had of this book is its use of imaginary numbers in the definition of Minkowski four-vectors. Although this was Minkowski's original idea, it is virtually universally abandoned (as it should be) in every treatment of general relativity; because of this, almost all modern books on GR abandon its use in SR. It is too bad that it is used here, but this is really my only criticism of an otherwise near perfect book.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Good EM treatment for advanced physics students.
  Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015
  Verified Purchase
  This is one of those great and inexpensive Dover books, it is definitely a book taylored for physicists, its not a beginners book, rather an advanced EM book heavily based on relativism from the start. If you wish to learn EM from this book, then I would say that there are better options, but it is a great book for a second or third course on EM. I am an engineer and find the book to be out of my league, considering my current understanding of EM theory, applications are practically non-existent and mathematical derivations are profound and rigorous, however the author seems to be a good educator eventhough the book is quite dry in both writting style and looks (as most Dover books)

  5.0 out of 5 stars Very Readable with Relativity!
  Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013
  Verified Purchase
  Professors always told me electromagnetic theory can come from relativity, but pretty much never talked about it. Even the textbooks reference it but do not go into much depth. Well, this book does, and it is really a masterpiece to read. The author does a great job walking you through the steps and its really eye-opening and brings deeper understanding. Definitely recommended as a complement to any student's normal textbooks. It should really be the standard.

  4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of Electrodynamics
  Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011
  Verified Purchase
  I read this book cover-to-cover a few years ago as a review of E&M theory. Overall, it was a good technical read. I will offer a few notes:

  1. This is a Dover reprint of a classic text (circa 1972), but then again E&M theory is a lot older than that, so....
  2. The book is a physics text--not an engineering text, so it is heavy on theory and light on applications. Don't expect to see any Smith charts. Coverage of transmission lines, wave-guides, etc., is nominal.
  3. The book is heavy into vector calculus, so come with the requisite mathematical background.
  4. The author isn't afraid of diving into some serious mathematical machinations. My favorite is the derivation of the plane-wave equation in Chapter 6--it runs on for five pages (in fine detail).
  5. The book reads rather dry (yes, I know its a technical book--but it is dry even for a physics text). The only particularly memorable deviation from the classical theory was a description of the method used to search for magnetic monopoles in moon rocks (which was a hot topic in 1972--evidently).

  For the modest price, this Dover reprint provides an economical volume for your home technical library. Regard it as a theoretical tome--not a 'how to' book.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Buying for my students
  Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2010
  Verified Purchase
  I took Freshman Physics from Schwartz at Stanford in 1975. I came across these reviews while trying to see if his book was still in print.

  Schwartz was the clearest teacher I had in my career - and I had some great ones, Marty Perl, Ted Haensch, Mahiko Suzuki, John Whelan, Brian Pippard and Dave Jackson himself for Quantum Mechanics, all great and Schwartz was better. We figured out about week two that he was basing his freshman class on this book.

  Schwartz said later that Steve Jobs audited this Freshman physics class. If so, Jobs did not stand out, we were too fascinated and terrified by Schwartz to notice the Apple founder in our midst.

  If you know vector calculus and want to really understand E+M, read this book - there is not a wasted word in it.
  I'm buying a 3rd copy to lend out to students.

  Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013
  Verified Purchase
  No one is forcing me or incentivizing me to re-study this topic. But I am happy to work on this material because the author is so skillful. This book also reminds one that in earlier times, our engineers were a lot more skillful than they are now. Nonetheless, this book leads the way even though it comes from a time when the fundamentals seemed to carry more weight.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version a no go
  Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2012
  Verified Purchase
  I really like this text very much and gladly give it five stars. However, I am very disappointed with the Kindle version. Amazon is still butchering mathematics and science texts with this mobi thing. Extremely poor mathematics rendering and rendering of figures. Flowable text works fine for books that are just text like scifi or romance novels and so on. For books like Schwartz's they need to be using print replica format or completely reset the book using html5 and mathml and credible rendering engines. It's really sad to see beautiful texts like Schwartz's Principles mistreated in this way. I hope we aren't going to see a whole series of poor republications of Dover books. That would be a real shame.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book
  Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2017
  Verified Purchase
  If you learned electrostatics at university and you want to understand Einstein's theory of gravitation, this is a great start because shows that magnetism is a relativistic effect of charge in motion. I studied it because it starts with a review of vector rotation basics and geometry then later applies tensors to an area of physics that I already understand. So when I moved on to study gravitation I could focus on physical concepts and rather than the mathematics of tensors, tensors being essential to Einsteins geometry based explanation of relativistic gravity.

  電磁気学(特殊相対論の基礎も含む)の物理的な考え方と、
  その数学的な取り扱い方について、時折ユーモアを交えつつも
  懇切丁寧に解説しています。

  スタイルは、ベクトル解析、静電気学ときて、一旦特殊相対論に進んで、
  そのあとの議論を続けるという形となっており、歴史的流れとは逆行しますが、
  論理的にはすっきりするものを採用しています。
  この辺は、ランダウ、リフシッツの「場の古典論」の流れに近いかと思いますが、
  上にも書いたように、物理的、数学的に丁寧に解説してあるので、
  初学者でも無理なく理解できるのではないかと思います。

  ともかく、値段も手頃ですし、英語もそれほど難しくはないので、
  電磁気学の最初の教科書としてかなり良いと思います。

  The majority of textbooks on the market these days are hideously expensive. This book however is nice and cheap and very very well explained. Electrodynamics is a mathematical subject and this book makes each step clearly and cleanly explained. This should be on the bookshelves of every physics undergraduate.

  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2018

  Book was delivered late and I wanted to take it away while on holiday but was unable to. I have since returned and have reviewed the book briefly. It’s more comprehensive than I expected and covers the subject matter extremely well if you are studying the subject at school or university. Personally, I was hoping for something by way of an introduction to the subject. Having said that the book is very reasonably priced when you compare it to other technical reference books for students.

 Unlike most textbooks on electromagnetic theory, which treat electricity, magnetism, Coulomb's law and Faraday's law as almost independent subjects within the framework of the theory, this well-written text takes a relativistic point of view in which electric and magnetic fields are really different aspects of the same physical quantity.
 Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this volume offers a superb exposition of the essential unity of electromagnetism in its natural , relativistic framework while demonstrating the powerful constraint of relativistic invariance. It will be seen that all electromagnetism follows from electrostatics and from the requirement for the simplest laws allowable under the relativistic constraint. By means of these insights, the author hopes to encourage students to think about theories as yet undeveloped and to see this model as useful in other areas of physics.
 After an introductory chapter establishing the mathematical background of the subject and a survey of some new mathematical ideas, the author reviews the principles of electrostatics. He then introduces Einstein's special theory of relativity and applies it throughout the rest of the book. Topics treated range from Gauss's theorem, Coulomb's law, the Faraday effect and Fresnel's equations to multiple expansion of the radiation field , interference and diffraction, waveguides and cavities and electric and magnetic susceptibility.
 Carefully selected problems at the end of each chapter invite readers to test their grasp of the material. Professor Schwartz received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught physics there and at Stanford University. He is perhaps best known for his experimental research in the field of high-energy physics and was a co-discoverer of the muon-type neutrino in 1962. He shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon M. Lederman and Jack Steinberger.

  Self-studier of theoretical physics
  5.0 out of 5 stars Superb
  Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2011
  Verified Purchase
  This book is truly superb. I am a self-studier of physics and found this to be one of the best books on any subject in physics that I have read. Somehow it strikes a balance between explaining ideas at an introductory level yet takes a very mature and deep insight into the subject. As other readers have mentioned, the development of almost all of electrodynamics from Coulomb's Law, the Principle of Special Relativity, and a little 'intuition' and 'aesthetics' makes this book transcend the level of other physics texts and even makes it deeply philosophical.
  Very few words are wasted, and the careful reader can really master the field of electrodynamics with this book. Little prerequisite knowledge is assumed; probably multivariable calculus (with vector analysis) and introductory newtonian mechanics are all that are absolutely needed. One possible exception is that the discussion on special relativity is a little hard to follow if you have never had any exposure to it before. Thus, I would suggest having a good grasp of SR, especially including four-vectors (and ideally four-tensors) if possible before undertaking this book. One definite criticism I had of this book is its use of imaginary numbers in the definition of Minkowski four-vectors. Although this was Minkowski's original idea, it is virtually universally abandoned (as it should be) in every treatment of general relativity; because of this, almost all modern books on GR abandon its use in SR. It is too bad that it is used here, but this is really my only criticism of an otherwise near perfect book.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Good EM treatment for advanced physics students.
  Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015
  Verified Purchase
  This is one of those great and inexpensive Dover books, it is definitely a book taylored for physicists, its not a beginners book, rather an advanced EM book heavily based on relativism from the start. If you wish to learn EM from this book, then I would say that there are better options, but it is a great book for a second or third course on EM. I am an engineer and find the book to be out of my league, considering my current understanding of EM theory, applications are practically non-existent and mathematical derivations are profound and rigorous, however the author seems to be a good educator eventhough the book is quite dry in both writting style and looks (as most Dover books)

  5.0 out of 5 stars Very Readable with Relativity!
  Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013
  Verified Purchase
  Professors always told me electromagnetic theory can come from relativity, but pretty much never talked about it. Even the textbooks reference it but do not go into much depth. Well, this book does, and it is really a masterpiece to read. The author does a great job walking you through the steps and its really eye-opening and brings deeper understanding. Definitely recommended as a complement to any student's normal textbooks. It should really be the standard.

  4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of Electrodynamics
  Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011
  Verified Purchase
  I read this book cover-to-cover a few years ago as a review of E&M theory. Overall, it was a good technical read. I will offer a few notes:
  1. This is a Dover reprint of a classic text (circa 1972), but then again E&M theory is a lot older than that, so....
  2. The book is a physics text--not an engineering text, so it is heavy on theory and light on applications. Don't expect to see any Smith charts. Coverage of transmission lines, wave-guides, etc., is nominal.
  3. The book is heavy into vector calculus, so come with the requisite mathematical background.
  4. The author isn't afraid of diving into some serious mathematical machinations. My favorite is the derivation of the plane-wave equation in Chapter 6--it runs on for five pages (in fine detail).
  5. The book reads rather dry (yes, I know its a technical book--but it is dry even for a physics text). The only particularly memorable deviation from the classical theory was a description of the method used to search for magnetic monopoles in moon rocks (which was a hot topic in 1972--evidently).
  For the modest price, this Dover reprint provides an economical volume for your home technical library. Regard it as a theoretical tome--not a 'how to' book.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Buying for my students
  Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2010
  Verified Purchase
  I took Freshman Physics from Schwartz at Stanford in 1975. I came across these reviews while trying to see if his book was still in print.
  Schwartz was the clearest teacher I had in my career - and I had some great ones, Marty Perl, Ted Haensch, Mahiko Suzuki, John Whelan, Brian Pippard and Dave Jackson himself for Quantum Mechanics, all great and Schwartz was better. We figured out about week two that he was basing his freshman class on this book.
  Schwartz said later that Steve Jobs audited this Freshman physics class. If so, Jobs did not stand out, we were too fascinated and terrified by Schwartz to notice the Apple founder in our midst.
  If you know vector calculus and want to really understand E+M, read this book - there is not a wasted word in it.
  I'm buying a 3rd copy to lend out to students.

  5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of those older, wonderful Dover books
  Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2013
  Verified Purchase
  No one is forcing me or incentivizing me to re-study this topic. But I am happy to work on this material because the author is so skillful. This book also reminds one that in earlier times, our engineers were a lot more skillful than they are now. Nonetheless, this book leads the way even though it comes from a time when the fundamentals seemed to carry more weight.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle version a no go
  Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2012
  Verified Purchase
  I really like this text very much and gladly give it five stars. However, I am very disappointed with the Kindle version. Amazon is still butchering mathematics and science texts with this mobi thing. Extremely poor mathematics rendering and rendering of figures. Flowable text works fine for books that are just text like scifi or romance novels and so on. For books like Schwartz's they need to be using print replica format or completely reset the book using html5 and mathml and credible rendering engines. It's really sad to see beautiful texts like Schwartz's Principles mistreated in this way. I hope we aren't going to see a whole series of poor republications of Dover books. That would be a real shame.

  If you learned electrostatics at university and you want to understand Einstein's theory of gravitation, this is a great start because shows that magnetism is a relativistic effect of charge in motion. I studied it because it starts with a review of vector rotation basics and geometry then later applies tensors to an area of physics that I already understand. So when I moved on to study gravitation I could focus on physical concepts and rather than the mathematics of tensors, tensors being essential to Einsteins geometry based explanation of relativistic gravity.

  5.0 out of 5 stars よくまとまっていると思います
  Reviewed in Japan on January 14, 2015

  電磁気学(特殊相対論の基礎も含む)の物理的な考え方と、
  その数学的な取り扱い方について、時折ユーモアを交えつつも
  懇切丁寧に解説しています。
  スタイルは、ベクトル解析、静電気学ときて、一旦特殊相対論に進んで、
  そのあとの議論を続けるという形となっており、歴史的流れとは逆行しますが、
  論理的にはすっきりするものを採用しています。
  この辺は、ランダウ、リフシッツの「場の古典論」の流れに近いかと思いますが、
  上にも書いたように、物理的、数学的に丁寧に解説してあるので、
  初学者でも無理なく理解できるのではないかと思います。
  ともかく、値段も手頃ですし、英語もそれほど難しくはないので、
  電磁気学の最初の教科書としてかなり良いと思います。

  5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden gem
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2010
  Verified Purchase
  The majority of textbooks on the market these days are hideously expensive. This book however is nice and cheap and very very well explained. Electrodynamics is a mathematical subject and this book makes each step clearly and cleanly explained. This should be on the bookshelves of every physics undergraduate.

  3.0 out of 5 stars Late delivery
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2018
  Verified Purchase
  Book was delivered late and I wanted to take it away while on holiday but was unable to. I have since returned and have reviewed the book briefly. It’s more comprehensive than I expected and covers the subject matter extremely well if you are studying the subject at school or university. Personally, I was hoping for something by way of an introduction to the subject. Having said that the book is very reasonably priced when you compare it to other technical reference books for students.

 Purchase options and add-ons

 This book summarizes the basics of electricity and magnetism prior to covariant formulation of Maxwell's equations. The book works out the basics of special relativity and then applies the covariant formalism to understand radiation, both in vacuum and in material medium. The emphasis is on cleaner mathematical formalism based on experimental facts. The book contains many problems/exercises which will help the students to understand the basics of the subject. The difference between the present book with existing books of this level lies in the presentation of the topics and the subjects chosen. Instead of presenting a lot of material related to electromagnetism, it presents some very important but selected problems of advanced electromagnetism to students who are learning it for the first time. This book is aimed at graduate/advanced graduate students who have done at least one basic level course in electricity and magnetism.​

 Editorial Reviews

 Review

 “This book is a comprehensive treatment of advanced electrodynamics. It is an excellent reference for many topics and I will just mention a selection. … The book would be useful both for reference and pedagogic purposes.” (Brian L. Burrows, zbMATH 1502.78001, 2023)

The book works out the basics of special relativity and then applies the covariant formalism to understand radiation, both in vacuum and in material medium. The emphasis is on cleaner mathematical formalism based on experimental facts. The book contains many problems/exercises which will help the students to understand the basics of the subject. The difference between the present book with existing books of this level lies in the presentation of the topics and the subjects chosen.

Some people are cautious that the int'l versions won't be the same inside, or that they are printed poorly - but that is not the case. Other than the different cover, its the same book. And since I really didn't *like* this book, the international paperback made the purchase less painful.And regarding this book itself - I had plenty of people scare me off of Jackson, and I think rightly so. I supplemented this with literally 4 other MUCH OLDER Dover paperbacks on electrodynamics to get me through. I totally understood EM and got A's both semesters because I had a professor who knew how to teach and I used other books - this book I used to get the assignment. This book seems to assume that you already know the material, it almost reads like a technical manual at times. I think once you understand it (like the profs do) its a good book, but it is just not good for learning. On the other hand, I don't know of a physics grad student for whom it was not required reading, like a rite of passage. My advice - go talk to your professor and get recommendations for other books that they also liked - or snoop around on Amazon and find other advanced EM books to supplement.</p></div></div></div><p></p></div><div><p>Sorry we couldn't load the review</p></div></div></div>

  Same content as Jackson hardcover, but is way more portable
  Just letting readers know that this is the same text as the hardcover, but I found the paperback much more convenient to take to school since it weighs so much less. Some people are cautious that the int'l versions won't be the same inside, or that they are printed poorly - but that is not the case. Other than the different cover, its the same book. And since I really didn't *like* this book, the international paperback made the purchase less painful.And regarding this book itself - I had plenty of people scare me off of Jackson, and I think rightly so. I supplemented this with literally 4 other MUCH OLDER Dover paperbacks on electrodynamics to get me through. I totally understood EM and got A's both semesters because I had a professor who knew how to teach and I used other books - this book I used to get the assignment. This book seems to assume that you already know the material, it almost reads like a technical manual at times. I think once you understand it (like the profs do) its a good book, but it is just not good for learning. On the other hand, I don't know of a physics grad student for whom it was not required reading, like a rite of passage. My advice - go talk to your professor and get recommendations for other books that they also liked - or snoop around on Amazon and find other advanced EM books to supplement.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best guide to E&M for the physics grad
  Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016
  Verified Purchase
  For a wide eyed young grad student this text can be (Was!) quite daunting, I used the 2nd edition with the Gaussian (CGS) units. The math needed to solve the problems is presented in a haphazard way, not systematically as a mathematician should present it but just given as techniques that work with particular problems-true of the 2nd as well as the 3rd. Bad. Derivations like in Lienard-Wiechert potentials are heuristic at best. The vector potential expressed as an integral over current density divided by distance seems to follow cogently-not rigorously.. Bad. What's good? A careful reading shows the author makes no attempt at an exhaustive comprehensive treatment but usually presents a brief description which happens to be good enough sometimes and gives the reader references to the more exhaustive treatments if not. I disparagingly called this a reference book because it gave you references-not the interpretation taken by my pipe smoking, ascot wearing comrades. Well in hindsight a complete exhaustive treatment of E&M has yet to be written. It branches off to various specialties. What a grad student needs is a guide and that's what Jackson is. The teacher probably should emphasize this point. The difficulty of the problems largely stems from not interpreting the problem correctly. You have to see what's being said-maybe diagram it. Jackson for many was their first exposure to problems that couldn't be solved in closed form-series solutions. We're comfortable with this in the computer age.

  Great condition, heavy content. First year of grad school this is a staple. Wish there was a good companion to this book to go into further details when Jackson “leaves it to the reader” but overall this textbook is rather thorough.

  4.0 out of 5 stars Good for brushing up math skills
  Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2008
  Verified Purchase
  I, like many others, used this book for graduate E&M. The text is easy to follow, however, for those who haven't seen the mathematical derivation techniques for quite some time, it is best to pause and take a moment reviewing how one equation becomes the succeeding equation. Jackson often, but not always, quotes what technique was involved so it shouldn't be too hard to look up vector identities and techniques involving standard functions (orthonormal, Green, etc.) in any advanced calculus text. For those who love the challenge of solving a variety of problems, this is your book. Jackson exercises your mind in such a way that you should find yourself pulling everything and anything you can remember (as far back as those unpleasant undergraduate days) applicable to the problem at hand and piece the puzzle together until you arrive at "a" solution. During my graduate studies, we used F. Melia's "Electrodynamics" alongside Jackson. However, it was extremely cumbersome working with something in Gaussian units and MKSA at the same time between the two books, but there was a good reason to use both. Melia's book was first written to accomodate Jackson's 2nd and other E&M books written in Gaussian units, so I'm sure that the 2nd edition Jackson would work very well with Melia's book. Melia most respectfully spells out the conceptual ideas (physics) for you and Jackson will nail you with the mathematical techniques involved, especially in his problem sets. Overall, I rate this a 4/5 stars simply because the 3rd edition used MKSA units, where I think Gaussian is much more elegant. Jackson explains why he decided to do this in the preface to the 3rd edition and it's all fair game. Use this book to brush up on your mathematical techniques. To be honest, Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics" would be an excellent text to use before you even decide to read Jackson's or Melia's. If you can master Griffith's book first, then it would make your life better when you adventure into Jackson's 3rd.

  The book is canonical for a graduate level course on Electrodynamics. Pretty comprehensive, albeit some topics are covered in different places scattered throughout the book.

  This edition is reasonably well made, considering the price. The binding is sewn, so the probability of pages falling down is low. It's paperback, but I "hardcovered" mine with chipboard and cloth and it feels awesome.

  As Aristotle said: "The roots of education are bitter but the fruit is sweet". This book is a pain, it uses difficult math, it has difficult problems but it contains everything a grad student will ever need in electrodynamics and math physics. You have to be patient, work through the book's examples and derivations and progress slowly until you eventually get it.

  This is just the standard textbook for graduate-level electromagnetism and electrodynamics. Obviously, it's not for the beginner. For an excellent undergraduate-level treatment of the subject, see Griffiths. The Jackson text is one I've wanted to own for a long time. It's in every physics professor's office. I've never seen another text used for graduate-level stuff. It's the standard and with good reason.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Book. But not for beginners
  Reviewed in India on June 4, 2019
  Verified Purchase
  This book is amazing. It deals with topics very rigorously. But this is not for beginners and it is difficult to read it by yourself. The derivations are not explicitly done. A lot of algebra is missing. But if you are able to do the algebra by your own or you have a teacher to help you, this book will serve you great. You'll gain a command over the subject.
  The problems are also excellent, but some of them are very lengthy.
  Some redundant topics are pursued as applications of theory. But nevertheless, this book is written in a rich mathematically rigorous language.
  First timers may find it difficult unless you have a teacher who follows the book in class.

I totally understood EM and got A's both semesters because I had a professor who knew how to teach and I used other books - this book I used to get the assignment. This book seems to assume that you already know the material, it almost reads like a technical manual at times. I think once you understand it (like the profs do) its a good book, but it is just not good for learning. On the other hand, I don't know of a physics grad student for whom it was not required reading, like a rite of passage. My advice - go talk to your professor and get recommendations for other books that they also liked - or snoop around on Amazon and find other advanced EM books to supplement.

  5.0 out of 5 stars The work of a master
  Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2006
  Verified Purchase
  Landau's approach to Classical Field Theory demonstrates his ability to be clear, concise, and elegant without drowning out the physics with math. I will say, however, that Landau requires a certain maturity to appreciate his style (same goes for Rudin's books of analysis). I would recommend this title to those with a working knowledge of classical E & M, vector/tensor analysis, and of special relativity. It is also wise to work through the author's Theoretical Mechanics to get a taste of their style. I believe, contrary to many, that this book is appropriate for self study if one is willing to do the work (not only the exercises but following along pencil in hand). I suggest reading a passage and then covering it up and then trying to do the derivations by hand. My only complaint is the quality of print, which has is not the fault of the authors. It is especially annoying at first.

  The author builds up a whole theory from almost nothing but common sense. You soon find yourself on page 150 as if you are reading Jane Austin. Landau's exposition is detailed but not boring, he gets to the fundamental facts right away. They define the electromagnetic field as derivatives of a potential. Great insight for people with background in mathematics. I always heard 'The electromagnetic field is the curvature of the connection.' but I didn't quite understand what they meant by that. Now I know.

  It's so simple to read and just to the point. I honestly had to use the Jackson book, which was not that great, but made a great grade because of the Landau-Lifshitz classic. Then there was the advanced MIT EM book which made so much more sense, but it was all math. Those 3 books alone will give you a pretty adequate understanding of EM, enough to make over 95 out of 100 on every assignment. The Landau, MIT book together are well pretty cool themselves.

  One of the greatest physics texts ever written. Landau immediately jumps into the water with clear descriptions of Einstein's principle of relativity and proceeds from there into momentum, plane waves, diffraction and the rest of modern theory. You cannot find a clearer, easier to read or more principle-driven elaboration of modern physics and fields.

  This classic text deserves a place on every physicist's bookshelf, but the wary buyer will steer clear of the paperback edition listed for sale here. I have attached a few photos which I feel are an accurate representation of the print quality you should expect when purchasing.

  In some cases, as in the Bianchi identity, you will likely already know which tensor indices should go where. In this case, you may benefit from this book if you already are comfortable with all of the mathematical tools employed, and can fill in the literal gaps.

  4.0 out of 5 stars Highest recommendation
  Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015
  Verified Purchase
  Landau was a master: Concise, insightful, and capable of prodding the student's intellect to solve problems for oneself.
  As this text elucidates, Electrodynamics cannot be properly understood without the uber-principle of Relativity as foundation; and that is just the beginning.

  I am still fascinated and a little exhilarated every time I am reminded of the Gauge Invariance associated with the Electrodynamic field. Landau broaches this subject near the very beginning of the text (Paragraph 18) in an elegant way. Because the definitions of the Magnetic field (B) and Electric field (E) contain only the DERIVATIVES of the corresponding potentials rather than the potentials themselves (A, and phi, respectively), it's easily proven that adding constants to the potentials will not affect the field intensities (remember the derivative of a constant = zero!).

  Here's the Math
  Example: E Field only:

  E = -1/c (dA/dt) - grad(phi)

  But if we change A and phi by adding constants to them, i.e.:
  A' = A + grad(f)
  phi' = phi - 1/c(df/dt)

  Thus, the new field E' = -1/c (dA'/dt) - grad (phi')
  or, expanding:
  E' = -1/c (dA/dt) - 1/c (d/dt grad(f)) - grad (phi) + 1/c grad (df/dt)

  The second and fourth terms on the right cancel, so E' = -1/c (dA/dt) - grad (phi) = E.
  The field intensity is unchanged despite changing the potentials.

  Same result obtains when considering the Magnetic field B = curl A

  Another bombshell is that no matter how one is moving, the total Electrodynamic field does not change. Relative motion will change the measured intensity of the magnetic component B, or perhaps the electric component E depending on how one is moving, but there will always be a resultant compensating change in the one component when there is a change in the other, such that the full field remains unchanged. This represents the essential truth that the Electrodynamic field is a TENSOR, whose physical character is not affected by relative motion; it is invariant in any reference frame.

  Consider the profound ramifications bound in that concept: A light wave whose existence begins on the surface of some star, potentially traverses 6 or 7 reference frames before it is absorbed in some planets' atmosphere, or perhaps within a leaf. If a measurement is performed on that light wave within any of those reference frames, that measurement will betray the character of said reference frame; so in a sense, perhaps the electromagnetic (electrodynamic!) wave serves as a UNIVERSAL FRAME OF REFERENCE: TRULY INERTIAL.

  Mirror image of that statement is that if one could rather travel with the wave, as Einstein envisioned, one would "see" the rest of the universe without time, and thus without the effect of MOTION as one traversed these many different reference frames (galaxy, solar system, planetary orbit, rotating planet, etc).

  An analogous result obtains when considering even mechanical motion and time: Motion through space (x,y,z, or r, theta, phi, or x1, x2, x3) sacrifices motion through time (ct, or x4) such that the interval through space-time (x1, x2, x3, x4) is always unchanged; invariant. This is how the measurement of time becomes relative. Motion through time is contracted to compensate for the motion through space, keeping the interval invariant.
  Both the Electrodynamic Field and the Gravitational Field are Gauge Fields.

  Another principle that bent my brain Landau covers in paragraph 95: The equations of the gravitational field also contain the equations for the matter which produces said field.
  From which the central conclusions may be deduced.

  Matter is Field
  Field and matter do not really fill space, like we all intuitively think. Rather, empty space has no objective measurable reality.

  As Einstein put it: "There is no space empty of field"

  Thus: Field..... is..... Space

  In the back of the book it says that it's printed by Amazon Fulfillment in Poland. Which would be fine, if the quality of the print was good. That's not the case though. I was able to compare it with the very same book (i.e. same ISBN) from Bol. In the book from Bol it doesn't say "printed by Amazon Fulfillment" in the back. I didn't find infos where that book was printed, but the print quality is significantly better. Once you have seen the difference you cannot unsee it. So yes, get the book, but not from Amazon.

  5.0 out of 5 stars Every one who wants to be a physicist should read this.

  This is a masterpiece no words can describe the originality and profoundness in every chapter of this text. It is an upper-level graduate text for electromagnetism. The relativity sections are full of new ideas and insights. A very original take on a classic subject area. A must read if you are serious about physics.

  1.0 out of 5 stars La peor impresión que he visto.
  Reviewed in Mexico on March 12, 2020
  Verified Purchase
  Es una impresión muy pobre y demasiado mala, el contenido del libro es de lo mejor en física teórica.
  Varias páginas están tan mal impresas que es imposible ver el texto y fórmulas.
  Es mejor gastar un poco más con otra impresión a pagar tirar a la basura el dinero con esta editorial.

  En cuestión al contenido del libro, es muy buena, los L. D. Landau son de los mejores libros para física, un poco avanzado pero muy buen contenido.
