In summary, the conversation is about someone looking for an internet site or alternative resource to read JD Jackson's Electrodynamics. They mention the importance of finding related readings quickly due to references they have, but have been unsuccessful in their search on Google. They also mention the strict copyright laws surrounding this book and suggest that libraries should have it. They also note that while there are lecture notes available online, they are not as good as the book.

Nah,you wouldn't get that lucky to find someone so dumb.The copyright laws are pretty strict.There are years in jail for this...

Sides,i think that each respectable library should have it.

There are a ton of lecture notes online on Edyn,sure,none of them as good as the book.

Hello! I am not familiar with a specific website that offers Jackson's Electrodynamics online, but there are a few options you could try. First, you could check your university's library website as they may have an online version available for students. You could also try searching for an e-book version on websites like Amazon or Google Books. Another option would be to reach out to your professor or classmates to see if they have a digital copy that they could share with you. I hope you are able to find what you need quickly! Best of luck with your studies.
