An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics covers the topics of Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics at the upper-level undergraduate level in physics or electrical engineering. This book tells the story of the historical development of electrodynamics, at the same time as introducing students to electrodynamics with vector calculus. This is the best treatment of the historical development of electricity, magnetism and electrodynamics I have ever seen. The breadth of the authors' knowledge, together with their ability to summarize historical results in exceptionally clear terms, is wonderful.…mehr

An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics covers the topics of Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics at the upper-level undergraduate level in physics or electrical engineering. This book tells the story of the historical development of electrodynamics, at the same time as introducing students to electrodynamics with vector calculus. This is the best treatment of the historical development of electricity, magnetism and electrodynamics I have ever seen. The breadth of the authors' knowledge, together with their ability to summarize historical results in exceptionally clear terms, is wonderful. Developing electromagnetism historically makes many concepts easier to understand . --- By an anonymous reviewer who is a senior professor at a major college or university. Table of Contents Part I: Electricity Chapter 1 Charge Chapter 2 The Electrostatic Force Chapter 3 Electrical Potential Energy Chapter 4 Gauss's Law Chapter 5 The Equations of Laplace and Poisson PART II: Magnetism Chapter 6 Permanent Magnets Chapter 7 The Vector Potential and the Curl Chapter 8 Electromagnetism Chapter 9 Faraday's Law of Induction Chapter 10 The Electron Chapter 11 Galilean Relativity in Electrodynamics Chapter 12 Superconductors and Plasmas Part III: Light Chapter 13 Transmission Lines Chapter 14 Light in an Optical Medium Chapter 15 Light in Free Space Chapter 16 Sources of Electromagnetic Radiation Chapter 17 Special Relativity Chapter 18 The Photon https://maricourt.press/keohane_foy ISBN: 978-1-949942-00-2 728 pages, 650 illustrations, $30 Maricourt Academic Press: Textbooks with Content and Context A good popular science book tells a story of discovery.

Autorenporträt
Jonathan W. Keohane (pronounced KO-han) teaches at Hampden-Sydney College. He holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Minnesota and a B.S. in physics from Yale University, and has published extensively on the astrophysics of supernova remnants. Jonathan has more than 25 years of experience teaching physics, astronomy, and, most recently, "Western Culture," an interdisciplinary course for first year undergraduate students. An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics is Jonathan's first textbook. Jonathan lives with his wife, Laura, in Farmville Virginia; they have three grown children.
