The study of classical electromagnetic fields is an adventure.
The theory is complete mathematically and we are able to present it
as an example of classical Newtonian experimental and mathematical
philosophy. There is a set of foundational experiments, on which
most of the theory is constructed. And then there is the bold
theoretical proposal of a field-field interaction from James Clerk
Maxwell.
This textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a
mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments.
Here the student is introduced to the beauty of classical field
theory as a gem of theoretical physics. To keep the discussion
fluid, the history is placed in a beginning chapter and some of the
mathematical proofs in the appendices. Chapters on Green's
Functions and Laplace's Equation and a discussion of Faraday's
Experiment further deepen the understanding. The chapter on
Einstein's relativity is an integral necessity to the text.
Finally, chapters on particle motion and waves in a dispersive
medium complete the picture. High quality diagrams and detailed
end-of-chapter questions enhance the learning experience."
