Classical Electromagnetism is designed for first-year graduate students taking an advanced course on the theory of electromagnetism. The text progresses from the basic laws of electricity and magnetism to their unification by Maxwell and Einstein, culminating with the place of electromagnetism in a quantum world. Author Jerrold Franklin carefully develops each stage of the theory with a clear and systematic approach. Throughout, he demonstrates how key principles can be defined on a more fundamental basis to enhance your understanding. The mathematics and physics are unified to help you learn the theory in the context of real physics applications. With many innovative treatments and insights, Franklin brings a fresh perspective that will help you achieve a high level of mastery of this essential theory.

The mathematics and physics are integrated so students see the theory and learn the mathematical skills in the context of real physics applications.

An emphasis on core concepts helps students stay focused on the principles, without getting lost in complicated peripheral ideas.

Innovative treatments and fresh insights bring a new level of clarity to learning this essential topic.
