SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a concise and mathematically rigorous book on electromagnetism, specifically one that begins with Maxwell's equations. A recommendation is made for "Landau and Lifshitz, Volume 2," which is praised for its direct approach and clarity. The user seeks a text limited to 150 pages that effectively synthesizes the subject matter without unnecessary elaboration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Maxwell's equations
  • Familiarity with mathematical physics
  • Basic knowledge of electromagnetism concepts
  • Experience with advanced textbooks in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Landau and Lifshitz, Volume 2" for its treatment of electromagnetism
  • Explore other concise texts on electromagnetism, such as "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths
  • Investigate supplementary materials that explain Maxwell's equations in detail
  • Look into online courses or lectures that cover mathematical approaches to electromagnetism
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators seeking concise resources, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of electromagnetism through mathematical frameworks.

Hi,
I've just finished to study Griffith's book, and I would like to read something in order to do a review about electromagnetism. I would like to find a brief book that starts from Maxwell's equation and deals with the topic in a synthetic and mathematical way. A book of up to 150 pages, that goes straight to the point.
Any suggestions?
I'm from Italy, so, if I did some mistakes I'm sorry, I'll correct them.

I'd suggest Landau Lifshitz vol. 2. There's nothing that goes straight to the point as Landau's great textbooks!
