This is a free book that seems to be aimed at the same audience as Jackson, but it's only about 1/3 the length. The layout is very professional looking, and there are quite a few figures. There is an accompanying book of exercises. The book is freely downloadable under a restrictive license.

I helped someone recently on PF who was confused--rightfully--because Thide was skipping steps and using inconsistent notation in one chapter. Yes it's free, but I would steer students to a better book based on this limited exposure.

As a side note, Thidè is one of the researchers who demonstrated the application of Orbital Angular Momentun encoding to radio waves.

As a fellow scientist, I am pleased to see that Bo Thide has published a comprehensive book on Electromagnetic Field Theory. This field is crucial in understanding the behavior of electromagnetic waves and their interaction with matter. I appreciate the effort put into compiling this book and making it available for download.

I have gone through the contents and I must say that it covers all the necessary topics, from the basic principles to advanced theories. The inclusion of prerequisite knowledge is also helpful for readers to fully understand the concepts presented in the book.

Electromagnetic Field Theory is a fundamental subject in many scientific disciplines, including physics, engineering, and telecommunications. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers alike. The detailed explanations and examples provided make it a great reference for those seeking a deeper understanding of the subject.

I would like to thank Bo Thide for sharing his knowledge and expertise in this field through this book. I am sure it will be a valuable addition to the existing literature on Electromagnetic Field Theory. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this fascinating area of study.
