Features: The "Classical Electrodynamics" by J.D. Jackson, compiled by the University of California, Berkeley, is a highly renowned textbook in electrodynamics, long used by universities worldwide. This photocopied edition is the 3rd edition published in 2001. Compared to the previous two editions, the 3rd edition has made several adjustments while retaining the fundamental content of classical electrodynamics. For example, it adds some content on digital computation to give readers a preliminary understanding of its application in electrodynamics; it removes the chapter on plasmas and incorporates some of its content into other chapters; and it includes new technological developments since the publication of the 2nd edition, such as optical fibers, semiconductor waveguides, and synchrotron radiation. This book can serve as a textbook for electrodynamics courses in physics majors and is particularly suitable for schools that conduct bilingual teaching. It is also an essential reference book for those aspiring to study abroad.
