书籍简介

大多数电磁理论教科书将电、磁、库仑定律和法拉第定律视为理论框架内几乎独立的主题，而这本写得很好的教科书采用了相对论的观点，其中电场和磁场实际上是同一个物理量的不同方面。

本书适合高年级本科生和研究生阅读，对电磁学在其自然、相对论框架中的基本统一性进行了精湛的阐述，同时展示了相对论不变量的强大约束。我们将看到，所有的电磁学都来自于静电学和相对论约束下所允许的最简单定律的要求。通过这些见解，作者希望鼓励学生思考尚未发展的理论，并认为这个模型在物理学的其他领域是有用的。

在一个介绍性的章节中，作者建立了本课题的数学背景，并对一些新的数学思想进行了调查，然后回顾了静电学的原理。然后他介绍了爱因斯坦的狭义相对论，并将其应用于本书的其余部分。处理的主题包括从高斯定理、库仑定律、法拉第效应和菲涅尔方程到辐射场的多重扩展、干涉和衍射、波导和空穴以及电感和磁感。

每章末尾都有精心挑选的问题，请读者检验自己对材料的掌握程度。施瓦茨教授在哥伦比亚大学获得博士学位，并在那里和斯坦福大学教授物理学。他著名的是他在高能物理领域的实验研究，并且是1962年μ介子型中微子的共同发现者。他与莱昂·M·莱德曼和杰克-斯坦伯格共同获得1988年诺贝尔物理学奖。

nlike most textbooks on electromagnetic theory, which treat electricity, magnetism, Coulomb's law and Faraday's law as almost independent subjects within the framework of the theory, this well-written text takes a relativistic point of view in which electric and magnetic fields are really different aspects of the same physical quantity.

Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this volume offers a superb exposition of the essential unity of electromagnetism in its natural , relativistic framework while demonstrating the powerful constraint of relativistic invariance. It will be seen that all electromagnetism follows from electrostatics and from the requirement for the simplest laws allowable under the relativistic constraint. By means of these insights, the author hopes to encourage students to think about theories as yet undeveloped and to see this model as useful in other areas of physics.

After an introductory chapter establishing the mathematical background of the subject and a survey of some new mathematical ideas, the author reviews the principles of electrostatics. He then introduces Einstein's special theory of relativity and applies it throughout the rest of the book. Topics treated range from Gauss's theorem, Coulomb's law, the Faraday effect and Fresnel's equations to multiple expansion of the radiation field , interference and diffraction, waveguides and cavities and electric and magnetic susceptibility.

Carefully selected problems at the end of each chapter invite readers to test their grasp of the material. Professor Schwartz received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and has taught physics there and at Stanford University. He is perhaps best known for his experimental research in the field of high-energy physics and was a co-discoverer of the muon-type neutrino in 1962. He shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon M. Lederman and Jack Steinberger.

作者简介

梅尔文·施瓦茨1932年11月2日-2006年8月28日）是美国物理学家。他与莱昂·M·莱德曼和杰克·斯坦伯格分享1988年诺贝尔物理学奖，以表彰他们发展中微子束方法，并通过发现μ介子中微子证明轻子的双重结构。

Melvin Schwartz (November 2, 1932 – August 28, 2006) was an American physicist. He shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics with Leon M. Lederman and Jack Steinberger for their development of the neutrino beam method and their demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino
