Balanis' Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics and Roger F. Davidson goes on to point out that Constantine A. Davidson, Julius Adams Stratton's Electromagnetic Theory remains the classic text in electromagnetics and is still regularly cited. Panofsky and Melba PhillipsĪccording to a 2011 review of textbooks in electromagnetics and computational electromagnetics by David B. Modern Problems in Classical Electrodynamics ( Course of Theoretical Physics volume 8) ( Course of Theoretical Physics volume 2) Russ claims Jackson's textbook has been "he classic electrodynamics text for the past four decades" and that it is "the book from which most current-generation physicists took their first course." Author In a 2015 review of Andrew Zangwill's Modern Electrodynamics in the American Journal of Physics, James S. This made Jackson's book the most popular textbook in any field of graduate-level physics, with Herbert Goldstein's Classical Mechanics as the second most popular with adoption at 48 universities. Christyįront dust cover of Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics (third edition)Ī 2006 report by a joint taskforce between the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers found that 76 of the 80 physics departments surveyed require a first-year graduate course in John David Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics. The Feynman Lectures on Physics also include a volume on electromagnetism that is available to read online for free, through the California Institute of Technology. There are several widely used undergraduate textbooks in electromagnetism, including David Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics as well as Electricity and Magnetism by Edward Mills Purcell and D.
