E., the phenomenological theory of electric and magnetic effects. The book can be used as a textbook for an advanced course in theoretical electrodynamics for physics and mathematics students and, perhaps, for some highly motivated electrical engineering students. We expect from our readers that they know elementary electrodynamics in the conventional (1 + 3)-dimensional form including Maxwell's equations. More over, they should be familiar with linear algebra and elementary analysis, in cluding vector analysis. Some knowledge of differential geometry would help. Our approach rests on the metric-free integral formulation of the conservation laws of electrodynamics in the tradition of F.

Kottler (1922), E. Cartan (1923), and D. Van Dantzig (1934), and we stress, in particular, the axiomatic point of view.

In this manner we are led to an understanding of why the Maxwell equa tions have their specific form. We hope that our book can be seen in the classical tradition of the book by E. Post (1962) on the Formal Structure of Electro magnetics and of the chapter 'Charge and Magnetic Flux' of the encyclopedia article on classical field theories by C.

Truesdell and R. Toupin (1960), in cluding R. Toupin's Bressanone lectures (1965); for the exact references see the end of the introduction on page 11..

Unlike the competition, the text presents classical theory in an accessible way, while recognizing the role of modern software tools relative to the necessary theoretical mathematics. Some of the strongest features of the text are the integration of current, real world applications and a wide range of exercises.

Until now, some problems of classical electrodynamics involving the laws of electromagnetic induction have. The current concepts. The importance of the problem is clearly illustrated by what happened at a seminar held by L. Landau in 1954, where he interrupted A. Akhiezer reporting on the subject: “Nonsense, the.

Author by: Francesco Lacava Language: en Publisher by: Springer Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 12 Total Download: 244 File Size: 50,9 Mb Description: This book proposes intriguing arguments that will enable students to achieve a deeper understanding of electromagnetism, while also presenting a number of classical methods for solving difficult problems. Two chapters are devoted to relativistic electrodynamics, covering all aspects needed for a full comprehension of the nature of electric and magnetic fields and, subsequently, electrodynamics. Each of the two final chapters examines a selected experimental issue, introducing students to the work involved in actually proving a law or theory.

Classical books on electricity and magnetism are mentioned in many references, helping to familiarize students with books that they will encounter in their further studies. Various problems are presented, together with their worked-out solutions. The book is based on notes from special lectures delivered by the author to students during the second year of a BSc course in Physics, but the subject matter may also be of interest to senior physicists, as many of the themes covered are completely ignored or touched only briefly in standard textbooks. Author by: Stefan Nanz Language: en Publisher by: Springer Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 64 Total Download: 603 File Size: 55,6 Mb Description: Stefan Nanz investigates the necessity for three multipole families in classical electrodynamics. He shows that by imposing symmetry and parity constraints, it is sufficient to deal with only two multipole families.

This implies that the toroidal multipole moments do not represent an independent multipole family, and they only emerge in the long-wavelength limit.

The book will prove useful to graduate students in electrodynamics needing a practical and comprehensive treatment of the subject. Author by: Anupam Kumar Garg Language: en Publisher by: Princeton University Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 70 Total Download: 255 File Size: 55,7 Mb Description: 'This text provides a fresh, modern look at electrodynamics. It is comprehensive, chock full of interesting insights and anecdotes, and written with a clear enthusiasm.'

Intriligator, University of California, San Diego 'Garg displays considerable wisdom and courage in writing a long-overdue, modern treatment of electromagnetism. I wish I had this book when I was a student. It contains delightful morsels of deep insight (the introduction taught me that fields are as real as a rhinoceros, or as I might extend it, 'quantum fields are as real as quantum rhinos') and interesting topics that are rarely, if ever, treated in other texts.'

Zee, author of 'Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell' 'Garg demonstrates that while the mathematical beauty of his subject is deserving of the attention it gets, the physical implications are even more seductive. This book is a treasure trove of thoughtful and incisive nuggets. I expect to see it on the shelves of many students and professors the world over.' Shankar, Yale University 'An outstanding text. It offers delightful insights into the physics of electromagnetism rather than treating this subject as an excuse for laborious exercises in mathematical methods.

It has the best treatment of electromagnetism in material media that I know. Remarkably lucid and enjoyable, and a worthy competitor to Jackson's classic text.' --Jainendra Jain, Pennsylvania State University 'Classical Electromagnetism in a Nutshell' is an interesting and elegant book, and an excellent text for a graduate-level course on the subject. Garg has a lively, modern writing style that will engage today's graduate students.'

Stack, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 'Garg's textbook is truly excellent. It goes the extra mile to provide physical insight in ways that will enhance students' understanding, and includes rarely seen topics as well. I want to compliment the author on the obvious care and expertise with which he assembled this text. If I were to teach a yearlong graduate-level electromagnetism course, I would use this book.' Belcher, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
