A Modern Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics is a comprehensive textbook designed to cater to undergraduate students with a foundational understanding of the subject, as well as graduate students and researchers seeking advanced knowledge. The book places significant emphasis on the formal structure of the theory, starting with Maxwell's equations in the vacuum and highlighting the central role of gauge invariance and Special Relativity. After introductory chapters that cover rederivations of fundamental electrostatics and magnetostatics, as well as the multipole expansion, Special Relativity is introduced. The subsequent derivations are conducted using covariant formalism and gauge potentials, providing greater conceptual and technical clarity compared to traditional treatments.
The second part of the book delves into electrodynamics in material media. This encompasses Maxwell's equations in material media, the frequency-dependent response of materials, Kramers-Kronig relations, electromagnetic waves in materials, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation. Additionally, the text includes advanced topics, such as the field-theoretical treatment of classical electrodynamics as a modern approach to radiation reaction. These sections are intended for the more advanced reader and are clearly marked, allowing readers to skip them without compromising continuity.
By emphasizing the formal structure and theoretical foundations, A Modern Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics provides a solid foundation for understanding classical electromagnetism and its applications. It serves as a valuable resource for students, scholars, and professionals in the field of physics and related disciplines.
