Reihe: Essentials of Physics Series

This concise introduction to electromagnetic field theory emphasizes the physical foundations of the subject. Based on the author's experience both as a former field theorist (working on quantum electrodynamics) and currently as an applied optical physicist, it covers much material from the standard university syllabus plus develops a number of themes in greater detail, so as to cover non-standard topics that provide a fuller understanding of the subject.
