Textbook for junior level electricity and magnetism

AI Thread Summary
For students seeking supplemental texts in a course where the instructor relies solely on personal notes, Griffiths' "Introduction to Electrodynamics" is highly recommended as a standard resource for junior-level electricity and magnetism (E&M). Additionally, "Electricity and Magnetism" by Nayfeh & Brussel is suggested for those who can locate it. The discussion clarifies that electrodynamics is indeed synonymous with electricity and magnetism, emphasizing the importance of these texts for enhancing understanding in the subject.

Yes. Griffiths is the standard of junior level E&M and it happens to also be very good.
 
If you can find it: Nayfeh & Brussel, Electricity and Magnetism.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
