In this new edition of the standard undergraduate textbook on electricity and magnetism, David Griffiths provides expanded discussions on topics such as the nature of field lines, the crystal ambiguity, eddy currents, and the Thomson kink model. Ideal for junior and senior undergraduate students from physics and electrical engineering, the book now includes many new examples and problems, including numerical applications (in Mathematica) to reflect the increasing importance of computational techniques in contemporary physics. Many figures have been redrawn, while updated references to recent research articles not only emphasize that new discoveries are constantly made in this field, but also help to expand readers' understanding of the topic and of its importance in current physics research.
The standard textbook on electricity and magnetism for junior and senior undergraduate students in physics and electrical engineering. It includes new problems (including several computational problems in Mathematica), worked examples, figures, and updated references to recent research.
Recenzijas
'David Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics remains one of the premier introductions to electromagnetism that one can possibly find. The text covers enough content to cover a firm grounding in electromagnetism for both an undergraduate and graduate education.' Physics Book Reviewer 'I am more than pleased with the text (I used the 3rd edition 20 years ago).' Peter Saeta, Harvey Mudd College 'Griffiths is just a fantastic text.' Paul Schmelzenbach, Point Loma Nazarene University 'The text is a classic the price is good compared to other texts for other classes.' Kevin Adkins, Morehead State University 'Excellent book. I have used previous editions for years and I strongly support continuing to use this text for our upper-level undergraduate series in electricity and magnetism moving forward.' Alan Bristow, West Virginia University-Morgantown

David J. Griffiths is Emeritus Professor of Physics at Reed College, Oregon, where he has taught for over 30 years. He received his BA and Ph.D. from Harvard University, where he studied elementary particle theory. He has published three widely-used textbooks on the topics of quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and particle physics, and a lower-level text titled Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Physics (Cambridge, 2012).
