Where Can I Find a Comprehensive Derivation of Maxwell's Equations?

AI Thread Summary
For a comprehensive derivation of Maxwell's Equations, "Fundamentals of Electric Waves" by H H Skilling is highly recommended as it provides an exhaustive step-by-step process. Additionally, "Fields and Waves in Modern Radio" by Ramo & Whinnery offers valuable insights that complement Skilling's work. Both texts are considered excellent resources, particularly for those studying the subject in depth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of these foundational texts for understanding the equations in both differential and integral forms. Overall, these resources are ideal for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of Maxwell's Equations.

I didn't know where to put this and it didn't apply to the template.

As a study aid and to sate my masochism, I wanted to know, where can I see an exhaustive, step by step process of all of Maxwell's Equations (Gauss, Faraday and friends) being derived? Differential form, integral etc.

H H Skilling, 'Fundamentals of Electric Waves'

Ramo & Whinnery, 'Fields andd Waves in Modern Radio'

These were some of my texts, back in the early 1960's. Aside form better graphics you won't find a better treatment I don't think.

I'd start with the Skilling which if you can handle it is all you need for your purpose. R&W might gain extra insights for you.
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
