Electromagnetism

This textbook offers a rigorous and coherent exploration of electromagnetism, crafted for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in the physical sciences and engineering. Emphasizing conceptual clarity and analytical depth, it presents a systematic treatment of electromagnetic theory that balances mathematical precision with physical insight.
The book is designed not only to convey foundational principles but also to cultivate intellectual curiosity and promote independent inquiry. Through carefully curated problems, reflective questions, and project-based activities, readers are encouraged to engage critically with the material, draw connections across topics, and explore the broader implications of electromagnetic phenomena.
Whether the readers aim is to consolidate a concise yet comprehensive understanding of classical electromagnetism or to investigate the quantization of the electromagnetic field, this book provides a thoughtful and intellectually stimulating guide to one of the most fundamental pillars of modern physics.

Delivers a complete and comprehensive treatment of the subject with depth and clarity Promotes learning through hands-on experience Encourages learning by doing through examples, practical exercises, and real-world applications

Autorentext

Sintayehu Tesfa is assistant professor at Jazan University where he teaches general physics courses and adjunct professor at Adama and Addis Ababa Universities where he advises students and teaches quantum optics. Earlier, he taught quantum optics at Dilla University and he has been a guest scientist at Max Planck Institute of complex systems, Dresden. Since last 15 years, he has been working on quantum optics and quantum information with emphasis to exploring nonclassical properties of light. Particularly, he is one of the pioneers in the study of the quantification of the degree of quantum entanglement and discord of the light generated by nonlinear and linear optical sources such as parametric up-conversion and correlated emission laser.
