Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on recommended books for studying electricity and magnetism, particularly for undergraduate physics students. Key titles mentioned include "Griffiths," which is highly recommended for undergraduates, as well as "Jackson," "Schwinger," and "Sommerfeld Lectures Vol. 3+4." Participants suggest utilizing the forum's Science and Maths Textbooks section for additional resources and discussions on electromagnetism literature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of undergraduate-level physics concepts
  • Familiarity with electromagnetism principles
  • Basic knowledge of academic textbook evaluation
  • Access to online forums for academic discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics" for undergraduate studies
  • Explore "Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics" for advanced topics
  • Investigate "Schwinger's Quantum Electrodynamics" for quantum perspectives
  • Review the "Sommerfeld Lectures" for historical context and advanced theories
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate physics students, educators in electromagnetism, and anyone preparing for entrance exams in physics will benefit from this discussion.

I would suggest that you should perform a forum search in the Science and Maths Textbooks section. Books on electromagnetism have been discussed quite a lot of times. You should have a look at the threads that have already been posted.
 
Sommerfeld Lectures Vol. 3+4
Jackson
Schwinger
Griffiths

Can you say what would be best above these from U. G students
 
For undergrads, it's Griffiths.
