Need 4d electrodynamics Book Names

[TheDestroyer]

Any one can guide me to some good books about 4-dimensional electrodynamics?

I don't want books that starts from electromagnetical theorems for maxwell, i want them to start from 4-dimensional systems and operations on them or tensors about them

Thanks,,

What aspects do you want to learn?
Are you just looking to obtain the field equations from a relativistic viewpoint? [Practically any intermediate relativity text or introductory [quantum] field theory text will have this. You can also jump into the middle of an intermediate electrodynamics text.]


Electrodynamics and Classical Theory of Fields and Particles
by A. O. Barut


Lagrangian Interaction: An Introduction to Relativistic Symmetry in Electrodynamics and Gravitation by Noel A. Doughty


The Classical Theory of Fields by L D Landau and E M Lifsh[/color]itz

Classical Electrodynamics by Hans C . Ohanian
has somewhat of a relativistic feel to it.

Classical Electrodynamics By R.S. Ingarden and A. Jamiolkowski
deals with tensors and twisted differential forms early on... then moves on to some Jackson-like topics.

I flipped through this once..

Relativistic Electrodynamics and Differential Geometry

Thanks, I'll see if they can help ;)

I'm downloading now those books, does they contain opeations on the 4 dimensional geometry, vectors and tensors?

Thanks again

recomendation

Charles A. Brau "Modern Problems in Classical Electrodynamics"

This one follows the spirit of Landau's "The Classical Theory of Fields", developing electrodynamics in the framework of 4-vector formalism rather than the typical methodology of say, Jackson, where life is a boundary value problem for the first semester. I'm also partial to it because he is my advisor

I have tried myself Classical Electrodynamics by Charles C.Ohanian. It is an unusual book as it derives Maxwell's Equation from Relativity principle using Field Tensor. All the explicit details are given and it explains the 4 vectors clearly. Also 4-current density is explained very well. Try your luck.
