Other Which Books Are Best for Studying Electromagnetic Theory from Scratch?

AI Thread Summary
To study Electromagnetic Theory from a foundational level, it's essential to have a solid grasp of mathematics, particularly calculus and differential equations. A highly recommended resource is Griffiths' "Introduction to Electrodynamics," noted for its thorough explanations and engaging style, making complex concepts more accessible. This book is particularly suitable for undergraduates and aligns well with preparation for national level exams that include questions on electromagnetic theory.

I want to study Electromagnetic theory from Zero.Although i have basic knowledge of electrostatics and magnets but i do not feel confident about EM theory.I am undergraduate with Instrumentation and Control Engineering.I am preparing for National level exam in which question related to Emt theory is asked.Suggest me some good ,books for questions .Please help me guys.
Thank You

How advanced are your maths? My favourite undergraduate book is griffith's introduction to electrodynamics - everything is explained very thoroughly there, while being easy and fun to read (IMO).
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
