520 |a This textbook discusses the fundamentals and applications of the electromagnetic theory, emphasizing basic physical aspects rather than mathematics. The text is designed for an intermediate level course, and the topics are ordered in such a way as to makes the links with a previous course on classical mechanics quite natural. In addition, it prepares the reader/student for more advanced courses on quantum mechanics, solid state physics, field theory, and others. Some special topics of current interest, such as numerical methods and superconductivity, are also covered. The book includes a diskette with software for solving problems in electrostatics and magnetostatics
