Summary: Excellent Book!
Comment: I'm a chemistry and physics student. This electricity and magnetism book is absolutely fantastic. Griffiths explains all the concepts completely and clearly. The proofs and examples and problems are all presented in ways that are easy for beginners to understand. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in electricity and magnetism. If all science textbook authors wrote like Griffiths, physics would be a cake walk.

Summary: You need this book to understand the fundamentals of Electrodynamics
Comment: I used the greek translation for my undergrad electrodynamics. I would agree with some reviewers that it might not be too mathematically advanced. But you need to read it to understand the fundamentals. It gives a very clear and crisp view of the fundamental theory of electromagnetism. If you want to go beyond that and use more advanced mathematics try Electricity and Magnetism (Berkeley Physics Course - Volume 2) which is an amazing book. I think with these two you are unbeatable.

Summary: A road map to Electricity and Magnetism
Comment: This book was a part of my favorite physics course ever, Electricity and Magnetism. The excersises are of great value to anyone taking entrance exams or the GRE subject test. Explanations may take a few tries to grasp fully but if you do the proper math reviews and take the time to become intimate with the material you will be rewarded with a superior understanding of the subject.

Summary: Griffiths EM
Comment: I didn't really learn vector calculus until this book came along. It does in a few paragraphs that takes a whole section in a calc book to do and makes more sense.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Definitely a Must Have for All Physics Students
