Reihe: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics

This textbook offers a rigorous and coherent exploration of electromagnetism, crafted for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the physical sciences and engineering. Emphasizing conceptual clarity and analytical depth, it presents a systematic treatment of electromagnetic theory that balances mathematical precision with physical insight.
The book is designed not only to convey foundational principles but also to cultivate intellectual curiosity and promote independent inquiry. Through carefully curated problems, reflective questions, and project-based activities, readers are encouraged to engage critically with the material, draw connections across topics, and explore the broader implications of electromagnetic phenomena.
Whether the readers aim is to consolidate a concise yet comprehensive understanding of classical electromagnetism or to investigate the quantization of the electromagnetic field, this book provides a thoughtful and intellectually stimulating guide to one of the most fundamental pillars of modern physics.

Über Autor(innen)

Sintayehu Tesfa received a Ph.D. in quantum optics from Addis Ababa University in 2008. Following this, he joined Dilla University, where he taught core physics courses and contributed to curriculum development. His academic career includes appointments as a guest scientist at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems and as a university professor at Jazan University. He currently holds the position of adjunct associate professor at Addis Ababa University. For over two decades, his research has focused on the intersection of quantum optics and quantum information, with particular emphasis on the non-classical properties of electromagnetic fields, such as squeezing, entanglement, quantum discord, and steering. These investigations are comprehensively presented in his book Quantum Optical Processes: From Basics to Applications. His academic journey, spanning three continents and diverse cultural contexts, has afforded him extensive experience in teaching and curriculum design at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This background has inspired his latest work: a book that aims to bridge the pedagogical gap in electromagnetism between foundational and advanced studies.
