Electromagnetism and Special Relativity. 330 $a"An Introduction to Electrodynamics provides an excellent foundation for those undertaking a course on electrodynamics, providing an in-depth yet accessible treatment of topics covered in most undergraduate courses, but goes one step further to introduce advanced topics in applied physics, such as fusions plasmas, stellar magnetism and planetary dynamos. Some of the central ideas behind electromagnetic waves, such as three-dimensional wave propagation and retarded potentials, are first explored in the introductory background chapters and explained in the much simpler context of acoustic waves. The inclusion of two chapters on magnetohydrodynamics provides the opportunity to illustrate the basic theory of electromagnetism with a wide variety of physical applications of current interest. Davidson places great emphasis on the pedagogical development of ideas throughout the text, and includes many detailed illustrations and well-chosen exercises to complement the material and encourage student development."--Back cover. 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aElectrodynamics$vTextbooks 606 $aQuantum electrodynamics 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aElectrodynamics 615 0$aQuantum electrodynamics. 676 $a537.6 700 $aDavidson$b P.
