Advanced E&M Book Recommendations

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking advanced reading in Electromagnetism after Griffith's book, Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics" is often recommended, though it may be challenging for some. An alternative suggested is Wangsness's "Electromagnetic Fields," which is more rigorous yet still suitable for undergraduates. This book provides a solid foundation while delving deeper into the subject matter.

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.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
