โฆ Synopsis
Schwinger might have been a great physicist, but his style is "anti-Feynman". Feynman strives (usually successfully) to get to the (physical) point, Schwinger buries the subject in a morass of formalism, which obscures both the mathematics and the physics (I should say that I am a mathematician, so maybe this book is good for physicists...).

This textbook introduces advanced classical electrodynamics using modern mathematical techniques, with an emphasis on physical concepts. Connections to field theory and general relativity are highlighted while the book still serves as the basis for a one- or two-semester course on electrodynamics wi

I did not receive the item, but the seller was honest and did not hesitate in refunding my order. He also answered fast my emails.
Paying close attention to the experimental evidence as the basis for its theoretical development, the book's first five chapters follow the traditional introduction to electricity: vector calculus, electrostatic field and potential, boundary-value problems, dielectrics, and electric energy. Chapters
