Classical Electromagnetic Theory — Nunzio Tralli, 1963

Nunzio Tralli — McGraw-Hill, 1963. Hardcover with original dust jacket.Published at the height of the Space Age, Tralli's Classical Electromagnetic Theory arrived as physicists and engineers were grappling with the electromagnetic demands of radar, satellite communications, and early computing. It stands as a rigorous and elegantly organized treatment of Maxwell's equations and their consequences — written at a moment when mastery of classical EM theory was considered essential preparation for the emerging quantum and relativistic frontiers. For students of physics history, it captures the pedagogical ambitions of mid-century American science education at its most confident.What's Inside
