Introduction to Electrodynamics

This is a moderately rigorous approach to electromagnetism. There is a lot of math but it is always introduced (or refreshed) on first appearance. The net result is a solid understanding of EM and its relationship to relativity.

This is a very good book . It serves as an introductory text and also for a pos-graduate course

This is the Greatest Electrodynamics Physics resource out there !! Griffiths Rules !!! The problem sets are amazing and they get added to. There are problems in the 5th edition (2023) that are not in the 4th edition. Get it and Penetrate this resource and then you will know all there is to know about Electrodynamics, or at least it will give you all the tools you will need to achieve great things !! Best ever !!!

Llegó perfecto , muy bien escrito, encuadernado y sin daños. Ahora a disfrutar esta nueva edición.

Difficult content and the materials are well explained. However, wish there is more detailed solutions to practice problems

The contents are good, but the binding is terrible. Some pages are already separated from the binding after one day of school trip.

It arrived in very good condition, thanks. But I have not started at it yet.

The book was new, however the spine was entirely damaged upon delivery. The only thing to protect the book in the Amazon box was a singular sheet of brown paper. For such an expensive and delicate item, you'd think they'd ship it with some bubble wrap....

I am coming from an electrical engineering background albeit, my experience is mainly in control systems and signal processing. I am self-studying this book and I am struggling. I am able to follow the mathematical arguments the author makes during the text, but I often feel defeated with many of the problems - especially the additional ones at the end of the chapter. If I were to pin point my struggle it is with the symmetry arguments and physical assumptions Griffith’s makes/expects you to make. I don’t think he explains these in detail during the text, and my engineering background has not prepared me well to make these. Perhaps I tried jumping to deep into the subject without having the appropriate prerequisites. I feel mislead by my online research as many people said that vector calculus - which I studied beforehand - is really the only prerequisite. Aside from my struggle, the book is written in a friendly tone, it has nice diagrams, and plenty of problems.

Love this book, as it is incredibly helpful for my studies in electromagnetic physics. I was planning to just share a library copy with a friend, and/or use a pdf from the web, but nothing beats having your own book, and to then flip through the pages on your own. Another factor was the price; there were so many of these USED textbooks that were over $150NZD, some even going for about $300NZD excluding shipping, so when this Amazon listing appeared, I was over the moon with getting what I need for this semester, and for the electromagnetism course next year. One of the few times that I will buy a textbook, as I’ll use it at least twice, AND it wasn’t as expensive as it typically is :)

Bom

New exercises include computational problems, very nice to work through, very clean looking book on the inside too
