Electrodynamics: Foundations, Fields, and Maxwell Equations treats the field as a physical object in its own right, not a calculating device. It builds classical electrodynamics from locality and physical law upward.
Volume I begins with fields, locality, and physical law. It then develops electrostatic fields, the electric potential, and electric fields in matter. It continues through magnetostatics and electromagnetic induction to the complete Maxwell equations, and ends with electromagnetic waves. Each chapter pairs careful derivation with worked examples, physics-specific figures, and side-by-side practice problems. Computational companions in Python, MATLAB, and Mathematica are available.
Volume II continues with radiation, relativity, guided waves, and applications. This is part of the Physics First Series, written for graduate and advanced undergraduate students, researchers, and engineers.
