Product Description
Core Electrodynamics is an advanced textbook that engages the student in the elegance of electrodynamics and special relativity, while giving them the tools to begin graduate study. The book is written clearly, incisively and has few prerequisites. After some revision matter, the book's core material links elementary electromagnetic concepts with relativity and field theory, introducing the key concepts of tensors and tensor calculus. Core Electrodynamics provides the basis for graduate study in field theory, high energy astrophysics, general relativity and quantum electrodynamics. Chapman; S. C. University of Warwick, UK,

From the Back Cover
Core Electrodynamicsis written in concise form to engage the reader in the elegance of electrodynamics and special relativity, while retaining sufficient rigour for graduate study.
From the basis of experiment the Maxwell equations and special relativity are first derived. The mathematical framework of generalized tensors is then introduced and the laws of mechanics, the Lorentz force and the Maxwell equations are cast in manifestly covariant form. This provides the basis for graduate study in field theory, high energy astrophysics and quantum electrodynamics.
