Classical Electrodynamics
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
The essential theoretical formalism of electrodynamics is covered with all mathematical derivations provided. The derivations are uniquely presented with inline, line-by-line explanations, which makes every derivation easy to follow. The reader does not need to struggle to fill in the steps, and the reader can focus on pondering over the physical content and implications of the derived results. The content is supplemented with numerous exercises with their complete solutions included.
This book is for students who are interested in theoretical physics and seek an efficient but proper preparation of the essential knowledge in electrodynamics and classical gauge field theory. With this background knowledge, the student will be able to progress further into concepts beyond electrodynamics, like general relativity or quantum gauge field theories.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
