About the Book

Core Electrodynamics is an advanced textbook that engages the reader in the elegance of electrodynamics and special relativity, whilst giving them the tools to begin graduate study. The book is written specifically for the advanced undergraduate and the postgraduate/Master's student. After some revision matter, the book's core material links elementary electromagnetic concepts with relativity and field theory, introducing the key concepts of tensors and tensor calculus. Core Electrodynamics provides the basis for graduate study in this particular area - in this case field theory, high energy astrophysics, general relativity, and quantum electrodynamics.
The author includes self-testing revision matter to aid student learning and has written this book in an immensely clear and concise manner, specifically for use on Master's courses.
