Classical Electromagnetic Theory (Hardcover)

Description

This book is a self contained course in electromagnetic theory suitable for senior physics and electrical engineering students as well as graduate students whose past has not prepared them well for books such as Jackson or Landau and Lifschitz. The text is liberally sprinkled with worked examples illustrating the application of the theory to various physical problems. In this new edition I have endeavored to improve the accuracy and readability, added and further clarified examples, added sections on Schwarz-Christoffel mappings, and to make the book more self sufficient added an appendix on orthogonal function expansions and added the derivation of Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials as well as derivation of their generating functions. The number of student exercises has been increased by 45 over the previous edition.

This book stresses the unity of electromagnetic theory with electric and magnetic fields developed in parallel. SI units are used throughout and considerable use is made of tensor notation and the Levi-Cevita symbol. To more closely display the parallelism, extensive use is made of the scalar magnetic potential particularly in dealing with the Laplace and Poisson equation. 85 worked problems illustrate the theory. Conformal mappings are dealt with in some detail. Relevant mathematical material is provided in appendices.

《電磁理論自學課程》簡介

這本書是一個獨立的電磁理論課程，適合高年級物理和電氣工程學生以及研究生，尤其是那些沒有為像Jackson或Landau和Lifschitz這樣的書做好準備的學生。本書中有大量的實例，以說明理論在各種物理問題中的應用。在這個新版本中，我努力提高了準確性和可讀性，增加了並進一步澄清了實例，增加了關於Schwarz-Christoffel映射的章節，並使本書更加自給自足，增加了關於正交函數展開的附錄，以及Bessel函數和Legendre多項式的推導，以及它們的生成函數的推導。與上一版相比，學生練習題的數量增加了45道。

本書強調電磁理論與電場和磁場的統一發展。全書使用國際單位制，並廣泛使用張量表示法和Levi-Cevita符號。為了更好地展示這種平行性，特別在處理拉普拉斯方程和泊松方程時，廣泛使用標量磁位。書中有85個實例來說明理論。共形映射也有詳細的介紹。相關的數學材料在附錄中提供。
