SynopsisThe third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length., Ein Klassiker im neuen Gewand! Diese Neuauflage behandelt in bekannter verständlicher und umfassender Weise alle Grundlagen und fortgeschrittenen Aspekte der klassischen und semiklassischen Elektrodynamik und wurde darüber hinaus um die Neuheiten der vergangenen zwanzig Jahre - Synchrotronstrahlung, Undulatoren, Wiggler, ... - ergänzt. Ebenfalls besprochen werden die Grundgedanken numerischer Methoden der Elektrostatik und Magnetostatik, so da der Leser die theoretische Basis einschlägiger Computerprogramme verstehen lernt. (01/99), A revision of the defining book covering the physics and classical mathematics necessary to understand electromagnetic fields in materials and at surfaces and interfaces. The third edition has been revised to address the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the past twenty years.
