SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the fourth edition of "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths, specifically regarding the differences between the international version and the original version. Users express concern that the problems in the international edition may differ significantly from those in the original edition, particularly if it is the older Pearson version. The current publisher is Cambridge University Press, which does not label its edition as "international." For accurate homework preparation, it is crucial to confirm the edition being used in the course.

Hi,

I recently ordered the fourth edition of "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by Griffiths. However, I received the international version of the textbook. In my upcoming course, our homework will be made up of problems coming directly from the original version.

So, are the problems in the international version the same as in the original version?

Thank you!
