by John R. Reitz, Frederick J. Milford, and Robert W. Christy. It has been a standard academic resource for undergraduate physics and engineering students for over 40 years. Book Overview John R. Reitz, Frederick J. Milford, and Robert W. Christy.

Solutions are not provided in most editions, and the examples inside chapters are fewer than in Griffiths or Purcell. You really need an instructor or a solutions manual to check your work.

The end-of-chapter problems are legendary. They range from straightforward applications to multi-step derivations. Many standard problems in qualifying exams (e.g., coaxial cable inductance, conducting sphere in a uniform field, Fresnel equations) trace their origin to problem sets.

: A theoretical physicist who served on the faculty at Case Western Reserve University , Milford was known for his ability to apply complex theory to real-world problems.
