Electromagnetic Field Theory
by Bo Thidé
Publisher: Upsilon Books 2008
ISBN/ASIN: 0486477738
ISBN-13: 9780486477732
Number of pages: 262
Description:
The book is written mainly from a classical field theoretical point of view, emphasising fundamental and subtle properties of the EM field and includes a comprehensive appendix on the mathematical methods used. It treats relativistic covariance and the Lagrangian/Hamiltionan formulation of electromagnetic field theory, with an eye on modern ideas of duality and unification of theories, and includes a rigorous, comprehensive and detailed treatment of EM radiation phenomena and some elements of semiclassical quantum electrodynamics.

Spacetime algebra as a powerful tool for electromagnetismby Justin Dressel, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Franco Nori - arXiv
We present an introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural algebra of the Minkowski spacetime geometry, with a focus on its intrinsic complex structure.

Variational Principle of Extremum in Electromechanical and Electrodynamic Systemsby Solomon I. Khmelnik - viXra
Here we shall formulate the variational optimum principle for electromechanical systems of arbitrary configuration, in which electromagnetic processes are going on. The principle is generalized for systems described by partial differential equations.
