It's undergrad level.

It's great. All the EM you'll ever need in undergrad. Jackson is too much work for little gain. I wouldn't ever bother reading it. Green's functions make more sense as propagators in quantum. And most things are just necessarily complex and long. It has a nice section on special relativity though. Griffith's qm book is also a nice quick read. He covers the basics better than anyone else, stuff like simple potential problems in one dimension, harmonic oscillator, angular momentum, and time independent perturbations.

Then go here

Both are great books. Griffiths is very approachable and cleanly developed. It's got a wide range of topics, and I still find myself referring to it periodically as a graduate student.

However Griffiths it is missing key advanced ideas. Hell, it doesn't even address time-harmonic formalism, which betrays its limits. That's why Jackson is there. It gives a more in depth and rigorous account of big boy electrodynamics.

Both are great though. I just gave Griffiths as a gift to someone because I thought they could appreciate it, unlike Jackson.

Where do I buy this shit? The burger version is too expensive and in the UK there's only the pajeet version which is poorly printed and full of mistakes.

Aren't there places where you can print it in a good quality? You'll pay less than buying the original and the quality will be better than the pajeet version. Or just try amazon or something.

It's illegal though. I don't know how many places will print it.

>>8875910
Yea, I know it's illegal. I guess we have more places that do that here because most people can't afford books, so it's a business opportunity for them. How about amazon?

>>8875924
Amazon only has the American version or the pajeet one.
