商品簡介
In this 1963 work, Owen (a professor of physics an Johns Hopkins U. at the time of publication) introduced electromagnetic theory in a presentation developed for undergraduate and first-year graduate students. His text differed from standard presentations in developing the electric displacement field, incorporating contributions from quadrupole distributions and higher moments, but the larger topics addressed are standard. Other differences include the introduction of the Dirac delta function in relation to point configurations and continuous distributions and the use of matrix representation whenever possible.
