Classical Electrodynamics, International Adaptation

As a postgraduate student, I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who is working in electrodynamics. The book is incredibly detailed, offers a good range of problems to properly test the reader's understanding. I will admit that, for people with little background in electrodynamics (myself included, I'm really based in continuum mechanics), it is rather tough work to figure out where Jackson gets some of his results sometimes, but I found that supplementing it with a lower level text (Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics (Pie) or similar) really made a lot of difference, providing me with a tad more background and a reminder of some of the more commonly used mathematical techniques. Of particular use to me was the incredibly instructive appendix on units, along with the section on the Abraham-Lorentz equation, which was part of the focus of my final year honours project at undergraduate.

This book is a well know one for any advanced ungraduated student. It consists in an advanced course in electromagnetism starting from the Maxwell laws and with a large emphasis in the phenomena of moving charges and currents which consists the subject of electrodynamics.

The perfect book for Electrodynamics; quite extensive and with very wide coverage not only of electrodynamics, but also electrostatics and mathematica methods for electromagnetic theory.I still love to read the paragraph on the existence of magnetics monopoles....though it exceeds my comprension!!!

It is the printed for India etc edition.It is recommended for students due to low cost and also small size and quality.I mean that it can be used without crying for money...

Jackson's masterpiece treatment of electrodynamics in an affordable binding. As the author says in the preface to the previous edition: May the reader benefit and enjoy!

Goooooood!!

Peefect

This book is the bible when it comes to the subject of electrodynamics and a few other EM subjects. It single handedly got me through my Masters Thesis!The only thing i would say is that Jackson assumes a fair bit of prior knowledge, while this was fine for me it may not be suitable for early undergraduate students.
