A modern introduction to classical electrodynamics /Michele Maggiore, Département de Physique Téhorique, Universiét de Génve. - xv, 435 pages :illustrations (some color) ;26 x 20 cm. - Oxford master series in physics. Statistical, computational, and theoretical physics. - Oxford master series in statistical, computational, and theoretical physics..

Evolved from a course taught by the author at the University of Geneva.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Mathematical tools -- Systems of units -- Maxwell's equations -- Elementary applications of Maxwell's equations -- Electromagnetic energy -- Multipole expansion for static fields -- Special Relativity -- Covariant formulation of electrodynamics -- Electromagnetic waves in vacuum -- Electromagnetic field of moving charges -- Radiation from localized sources -- Post-Newtonian expansion and radiation reaction -- Electromagnetic fields in material media -- Frequency dependent response of materials -- Electromagnetic waves in material media -- Scattering of electromagnetic radiation.

"The book places much emphasis on the formal structure of the theory; beginning with Maxwell's equations in the vacuum, it emphasises the central role of gauge invariance and Special Relativity. After introductory chapters which include rederivations of elementary results of electrostatics and magnetostatics, and the multipole expansion, Special Relativity is introduced, and most of the subsequent derivations are performed using covariant formalism and gauge potentials, allowing for greater conceptual and technical clarity compared to more traditional treatments.The second part of the book covers electrodynamics in material media. This includes Maxwell's equations in material media, frequency dependent response of materials and Kramers-Kronig relations, electromagnetic waves in materials, and scattering of electromagnetic radiation. Finally, the text also includes advanced topics, such as the field-theoretical treatment of classical electrodynamics as a modern treatment of radiation reaction. " -- publisher's description
