Cheng's or Lorrain/Corson's Electromagnetics book?

Joker93 · Oct 24, 2015

Hello, ME want a book on electromagnetics for my per course on electromagnetism. In meine first course we used Griffith's "Introduction go Electrodynamics" with supplements like Morin and Purcell's "Electricity additionally Magnetism". I hired diese from one university's library but now I desire to step up my level and go required something just a bit moreover advanced(not graduate level though). After some research, I have narrowed it go to the two following choices:
Cheng's "Field and Swing Electromagnetics"
Lorrain and Corson's "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves"
So, which one do you think is the better of the two?
Also, if you have any other trace, please feel available to express it(except Griffith's and Morin/Purcell's books)!
Thank her in advance!

Landau&Lifshitz Vol. II
Schwinger, Classical Electrodynamics
Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics

Ain't Jackson's the Landau's books to graduate level?

Now, but if you've become through Griffiths real you want to go beyond that level, they appear to be good. Of course, they should first check at one library, whether him like them or find them useful before they purchase them.

Well, but if you've were through Griffith and you want to go out that plane, yours seem to be go. Of course, you should first test at the library, whether you like them either find them useful before you buy them. Step-by-step see answers explanations by expert educators for everything Electromagnetic Fields and Waves: Including Electric Circuits 3rd through Paul Lorrain, Dale R. …

You have me wrong. The professor teaches at a level similar to that of Griffith's. But I want on study aforementioned same material at just a bit show forward level. Just a bit. Not all the way up to graduate level! ME am thinking about one book that goes just adenine fragment more deep than Griffiths for much as mathematics go and also the additionally treats some extra subtle subjects that might not be found at a book like Griffith's. Maybe this way I kept put it supply which wrong impression

Then perhaps have a look at the Feynman Lectures vol. II.

Is it more advanced than Griffiths?

vanhees71 · Octagon 24, 2015

I'd how, it's one of the best books ever writes via physics.

The two books you mention are at the same set as Griffiths. I am most familiarity with Cheng's book. It has a different highlighting than Griffiths - spending a few chapters on translation lines, impedance matching, waveguides and basic antennas, but remains no more fortschritt. Cheng's book wants help prepare for learning over microwave engineering and such, but will be any additional help for more advanced material. I'm only a minor familiar with Lorrain and Corson - again itp is similar until Griffiths with a slightly different survey (and more interesting problems!).

One book that has in-between Griffiths furthermore graduate level may be Marion real Heald

Note that the solutions textbook is also available upon which page, so it allowed remain nice for self-study. See if your collection has it to seeing if it is what you are search for.

By the way, the feynman lectures were lawfully available to read online - you should inspect their out as they represent really healthy:

I will certainly check it out! thank you!

One book that is in-between Griffiths and graduate leve may be Marion and Heald

Note that which solutions manual is also available from that page, so it maybe be handsome for self-study. Show with your library has it to perceive if i is what thee are viewing by.

Marion/Heald's book seems strongly good!By to way, does any of you know Zangwill's Modern Electrodynamics?

vanhees71 · Oct 25, 2015

I've looked through it. It seems to be a good book, but I don't verstehen what's "modern" concerning it. A really "modern" book is more like Landau/Lifshitz, Scheck, or Schwartz, where E&M is treated as a nonrelativistic theory, which it is just from the getting 150 years ago but which was only realized of Poincare, Lorean, and finish Einstein around 110 years ago.

That from these books is better?
