Advanced E&M Book Recommendations

In summary, some highly recommended books for learning advanced electromagnetic theory include "Classical Electrodynamics" by Jackson, "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by Griffiths, and "Electromagnetism" by Purcell and Morin. For practical applications, "Electromagnetics for Engineers" by Ulaby and "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Magdy Iskander are excellent resources. For a strong foundation in both theory and mathematics, "Electromagnetic Theory and Computation: A Topological Approach" by Russell Messier and "Electromagnetic Theory and Applications in Beam-Wave Electronics" by Lev Tolstoy are recommended. Online resources such as video lectures, practice problems, and interactive simulations can also enhance understanding

could any1 recommend a good E&M book that might be worth reading after having just finished Griffith's book on the subject... so probably a book a little more advanced than Griffith's

Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics.

I agree with fluidistic's suggestion, but if Jackson seems to difficult, you can try Electromagnetic Fields by Wangsness. It's an undergraduate textbook like Griffiths, but the presentation is more rigorous.
 

1. What are the best books for learning advanced electromagnetic theory?

Some highly recommended books for advanced E&M include "Classical Electrodynamics" by Jackson, "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by Griffiths, and "Electromagnetism" by Purcell and Morin.

2. Are there any books that focus specifically on practical applications of advanced E&M?

Yes, "Electromagnetics for Engineers" by Ulaby and "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Magdy Iskander are both excellent resources for understanding the practical applications of E&M theory.

3. Are there any books that cover both advanced E&M theory and its mathematical foundations?

"Electromagnetic Theory and Computation: A Topological Approach" by Russell Messier and "Electromagnetic Theory and Applications in Beam-Wave Electronics" by Lev Tolstoy both provide a strong foundation in both the theory and mathematics of advanced E&M.

4. Are there any online resources or supplemental materials that can enhance my understanding of advanced E&M?

Yes, there are many online resources such as video lectures, practice problems, and interactive simulations available on websites such as MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Physics Classroom.

5. What are some recommended books for advanced E&M in specific fields of study, such as optics or plasma physics?

For optics, "Optics" by Eugene Hecht and "Introduction to Optics" by Pedrotti and Pedrotti are excellent choices. For plasma physics, "Principles of Plasma Physics" by Krall and Trivelpiece and "Plasma Physics: An Introduction to the Theory of Astrophysical, Geophysical, and Laboratory Plasmas" by Fitzpatrick are highly recommended.
