This book, together with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire Bachelor's program.

Highlights:

Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and are clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived within a physical context and explained transparently.

Contents:

Introduction to Electrodynamics – Coulomb’s Law – Fundamentals of Electrostatics – Boundary Value Problems in Electrostatics – Ampère’s Law – Fundamental Equations of Magnetostatics – Maxwell’s Equations – Electromagnetic Potentials – Energy, Momentum, and Angular Momentum of the Field – The Electromagnetic Field in Vacuum – Wave Packets in Vacuum – Solutions of the Inhomogeneous Wave Equations – Multipole Radiation – Systematics of Multipole Expansion – Macroscopic Fields – Energy, Momentum, and Angular Momentum of the Macroscopic Field – Electric and Magnetic Properties of Matter – The Electromagnetic Field at Interfaces – Covariance of Electrodynamics

Target Audience:

This book is particularly suitable for Bachelor’s students in their first or second year.

Prerequisites:

Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge of differentiation and integration, basic linear algebra, and concepts from vector calculus.

The Author:

Wolfgang Cassing is a retired Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. His expertise lies in phase space dynamics of classical and quantum many-body systems, which is also reflected in his scholarly book  . This textbook series also includes Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, as well as Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
