Synopses & Reviews
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.
Synopsis
Ein Klassiker im neuen Gewand Diese Neuauflage behandelt in bekannter verst ndlicher und umfassender Weise alle Grundlagen und fortgeschrittenen Aspekte der klassischen und semiklassischen Elektrodynamik und wurde dar ber hinaus um die Neuheiten der vergangenen zwanzig Jahre - Synchrotronstrahlung, Undulatoren, Wiggler, ... - erg nzt. Ebenfalls besprochen werden die Grundgedanken numerischer Methoden der Elektrostatik und Magnetostatik, so da der Leser die theoretische Basis einschl giger Computerprogramme verstehen lernt. (01/99)
Synopsis
The 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.
