AI Thread Summary
David Griffiths' "Introduction to Electrodynamics" is widely recommended for university-level study, though it is a common choice. For graduate-level courses, Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics" is noted as a more advanced text, but it is not suitable for undergraduates. The discussion highlights the importance of considering the course level when selecting a textbook, as there are various engineering texts that cover different aspects of electrodynamics. Additionally, browsing older threads in the Science Books forum may provide further insights and recommendations related to electrodynamics and electricity and magnetism.

can you suggest a book to study classical electrodinamical for university class?

David Griffiths "Introduction to Electrodynamics" is an excellent text in my opinion, but it is a very common text.

There are several levels of electrodynamics though. A graduate level text would be Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics" but I would not suggest that text as an undergraduate reference. And then there are a myriad of engineering electrodynamics texts which focus on different topics.
 
What level is the course?
 
Now that this thread has been moved to the Science Books forum, you might want to browse through older threads here about electrodynamics or "electricity and magnetism" or "E&M".
 

Thread 'Book recommendation after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics'

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...

Thread 'Blennow to follow up Altland?'

TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
