Reddit reviews Introduction to Electrodynamics

In India at least, we have official Indian editions of American textbooks. The only difference is the quality of paper used, binding and print quality, and the fact that the textbook is b&w. But this doesn't matter, and obviously the 75% price drop is more valuable. Good deal.

Edit:
For example, Indian ed vs American ed

Here are additional reading materials when you're a bit farther along:

Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences by Mary Boas

Modern Physics by Randy Harris

Classical Mechanics by John Taylor

Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths

Introduction to Particle Physics by Griffiths

The Feynman Lectures

With most of these you will be able to find PDFs of the book and the solutions. Otherwise if you prefer hardcopies you can get them on Amazon. I used to be adigital guy but have switched to physical copies because they are easier to reference in my opinion. Let me know if this helps and if you need more.

I don't know about Jackson's book. I read Griffiths and he was great. I would strongly recommend Griffiths for clarity and reading comprehension. He would generally tell you outright what stuff was important and what wasn't.

Here is his book

Griffith's Electrodynamics has a decent introduction to special relativity. Otherwise, Hartle's book is geared towards the advanced undergrad. Also, Schultz is good too.

Do you think this book also sucks? I have a Physics professor teaching me EM because my EE professor isn't that good. He says that's the best EM book. I don't know much.
