I am searching for a book on optics (something that is comparable to griffiths for em)
and ill be grateful for any suggestions
i have studied maths to the level of mary boas and thomas and finney(calculus)
what other maths is required and what books do you suggest
thanks
it isn't that tough but i was trying an alternative
i get it
so i have to integrate over each possible surface thus needing the charge density at each surface
isnt the field in any given volume always uniquely determined
to prove by contradiction assume E1 and E2
div(E1)=charge density/epsilon 0 =div(E 2)
by fundamental theorem of divergences
integral of E1.da = integral of E2.da over entire surface
thus E1=E2
then why does griffith in his...
