"[The book] has a nice blend of mathematical physics, fundamentals of electromagnetic theory and practical applications.... It is extremely well written and contains numerous exercises and problems to help the reader gain familiarity with new concepts. Throughout...the author emphasizes the conceptual framework of electromagnetism so that the reader does not get lost in details. Such a style is very valuable in a physics textbook.... The book simultaneously teaches the reader electromagnetic theory and more advanced mathematical concepts in a very concrete physical context.... Essentially self-contained...it will serve as an excellent textbook for graduate level physics courses on electromagnetic theory and mathematical physics. It is also a good reference book for researchers in applied mathematics, theoretical physics and electrical engineering."
