I will start my PhD in experimental condensed matter in a year's time in the UK. Most European Physics PhDs do not have set courses, hence I don't have any text to go off on. So this will be entirely self taught for two reasons: out of interest and the potential opportunity I have to actually do...

Okay perhaps I should do Jackson then. My plan was to do Born's book anyway to be fair.

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I...
