Classical Electrodynamics. Short Course of Lectures. Study Guide. Seal of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation

The book is a course of lectures on classical electrodynamics, which was read by the author for many years in the undergraduate of the Faculty of Physics of St. Petersburg (Leningrad) State University. The framework of the course is fundamental principles, such as the Maxwell equations and the principle of relativity, combined in the relativistic covariant form of electrodynamic equations. On their basis, the main ideas and methods of electrostatics, the theory of radiation, electrodynamics of continuous media and the theory of waveguides are presented. Material is presented with a high degree of mathematical rigor, which is organically combined with a clear presentation of physical content. The book can be useful to everyone who, having elementary knowledge in the field of electrical phenomena and mathematical analysis, would like to get a clear and mathematically strict representation of both theoretical foundations and the methods of solving the most complex problems of electrodynamics.
For students of universities and technical universities
