About this title

Synopsis

An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics covers the topics of Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics at the upper-level undergraduate level in physics or electrical engineering. This book tells the story of the historical development of electrodynamics, at the same time as introducing students to electrodynamics with vector calculus.

About the Author

• Jonathan W. Keohane (pronounced KO-han) teaches at Hampden-Sydney College.  He holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of  Minnesota and a B.S. in physics from Yale University, and has published on the astrophysics of supernova remnants.  Jonathan has more than 25 years of experience teaching physics, astronomy, and, most recently, "Western Culture," an interdisciplinary course for first year undergraduate students.  An Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics is Jonathan's first textbook.  Jonathan lives with his wife, Laura, in Farmville Virginia; they have three grown children.
• Joseph P. Foy earned his bachelor's degreein physics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where heconducted research in space and solar physics at NASA's Marshall SpaceFlight Center. He earned his doctorate in physics and astronomy atArizona State University studying and modeling the dynamics of the CrabNebula supernova remnant. His research focuses on understanding thephysics of pulsar wind nebulae and of the interstellar medium.
  
  He joined the faculty at Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona StateUniversity in the fall of 2008, following a visiting professorship atHampden-Sydney College in Virginia. He now lives in Tempe, Arizona withhis wife Emalee and their cat, Lance
