The textbooks which I have consulted most frequently whilst developing
course material are:
- Classical electricity and magnetism:
- W.K.H. Panofsky, and
M. Phillips, 2nd edition (Addison-Wesley, Reading MA, 1962).
- The Feynman lectures on physics:
- R.P. Feynman, R.B. Leighton,
and M. Sands, Vol. II (Addison-Wesley, Reading MA, 1964).
- Special relativity:
- W. Rindler (Oliver & Boyd, Edinburgh & London UK, 1966).
- Electromagnetic fields and waves:
- P. Lorrain, and D.R. Corson,
3rd edition (W.H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco CA, 1970).
- Electromagnetism:
- I.S. Grant, and W.R. Phillips (John Wiley
& Sons, Chichester UK, 1975).
- Foundations of electromagnetic theory:
- J.R. Reitz, F.J. Milford,
and R.W. Christy, 3rd edition (Addison-Wesley, Reading MA, 1980).
- The classical theory of fields:
- E.M. Lifshitz, and L.D. Landau, 4th edition
[Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford UK, 1980].
- Introduction to electrodynamics:
- D.J. Griffiths, 2nd edition
(Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs NJ, 1989).
- Classical electromagnetic radiation:
- M.A. Heald, and J.B. Marion,
3rd edition (Saunders College Publishing, Fort Worth TX, 1995).
- Classical electrodynamics:
- W. Greiner (Springer-Verlag, New York NY, 1998).
In addition, the section on vectors is largely based on my undergraduate
lecture notes taken from a course given
by Dr. Stephen Gull at the University of Cambridge.
