Hi, I'm looking for the best book in which I can learn very well electromagnetism. I have good notions of all mathematics till differential equations. Furthermore I basically know analytical mechanics (I have studied on the Landau's Mechanics) and special theory of relativity.

Thanks in advance...

Frank ;)
