The math needed to solve the problems is presented in a haphazard way, not systematically as a mathematician should present it but just given as techniques that work with particular problems-true of the 2nd as well as the 3rd. Bad. Derivations like in Lienard-Wiechert potentials are heuristic at best. The vector potential expressed as an integral over current density divided by distance seems to follow cogently-not rigorously.. Bad. What's good? A careful reading shows the author makes no attempt at an exhaustive comprehensive treatment but usually presents a brief description which happens to be good enough sometimes and gives the reader references to the more exhaustive treatments if not. I disparagingly called this a reference book because it gave you references-not the interpretation taken by my pipe smoking, ascot wearing comrades. Well in hindsight a complete exhaustive treatment of E&M has yet to be written. It branches off to various specialties. What a grad student needs is a guide and that's what Jackson is. The teacher probably should emphasize this point. The difficulty of the problems largely stems from not interpreting the problem correctly. You have to see what's being said-maybe diagram it. Jackson for many was their first exposure to problems that couldn't be solved in closed form-series solutions. We're comfortable with this in the computer age. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #125,932 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Superconductivity (Books) #14 in Physics of Electricity #32 in Physics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 530 Reviews | ## Images ![Classical Electrodynamics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OEMhv9b3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book *by M***L on December 31, 2025* Absolutely what I was expecting or even better ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still the best guide to E&M for the physics grad *by P***K on June 24, 2016* For a wide eyed young grad student this text can be (Was!) quite daunting, I used the 2nd edition with the Gaussian (CGS) units.

Pretty comprehensive, albeit some topics are covered in different places scattered throughout the book. This edition is reasonably well made, considering the price. The binding is sewn, so the probability of pages falling down is low. It's paperback, but I "hardcovered" mine with chipboard and cloth and it feels awesome. ## Frequently Bought Together - Classical Electrodynamics Third Edition - Modern Quantum Mechanics - Principles of Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3142800-classical-electrodynamics](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/3142800-classical-electrodynamics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
