Electrodynamics-II, Physics 931 (Maravin)
Kansas State University, Spring 2007

Overview:

The part II of Electrodynamics is intended for graduate students in physics who has already completed part I of the course, and who had completed introductory courses in Electric and Magnetic Fields or Electrodynamics at the undergraduate level. The textbook for the course is the third edition of J. D. Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics."

Useful Textbooks and supplemental information

Lecture Notes from previously taught course in the Spring 2006 by Prof. Wyslin can be found here (at the bottom of the page).

The following book might be much easier to read, and it explains the material well:
"Classical Electrodynamics," Jerrold Franklin, Pearson/Addison-Wesley, First edition (2005).

Some mathematical help for things like delta-functions, Green functions, etc., can be found in various math-methods textbooks, like:
"Essential Mathematical Methods for Physicists", George B. Arfken and Hans J. Weber, Academic Press, Fourth Edition (2003).
"Mathematics of Classical and Quantum Physics," Frederick W. Byron and Robert W. Fuller, Addison-Wesley (1992).

Undergraduate level texbooks:
"Introduction to Electrodynamics," by David J. Griffiths, Prentice-Hall, Inc. (1999).
"Classical Theory of Electromagnetism," by Baldassare Di Bartolo, Prentice-Hall (1991).
"Electromagnetic Fields and Waves," by Paul Lorrain, Dale R. Corson and Francois Lorrain, W. H. Freeman and Co. (1988).
"Foundations of Electromagnetic Theory," by Frederick Reitz and John R. Milford, Addison-Weseley (1962).
