Maxwell’s Equations in a Nutshell

In this book I will assume that readers are already familiar with the basic concepts of electrodynamics. Many textbooks can be found on the topic and in general they will all suffice as a suitable starting point. Jackson’s “Classical Electrodynamics” is certainly among the most comprehensive accounts of the topic. My favorite book for teaching is the “Introduction to Electrodynamics” by Griffiths, and readers familiar with this book will probably recognize some of his notations here. In the following I briefly summarize the basic ideas of electrodynamics, however, without going too much into details.
