This book has grown out of a set of lecture notes for a graduate course in numerical analysis which I gave at the Computation Laboratory of Harvard University during the years 1947 to 1949. Professor Howard Aiken of that laboratory foresaw the great need that would be felt throughout the country for men trained in the design and use of electronic digital computers and initiated at that early date a set of courses to meet this need. I was privileged during that time to devote full time to the preparation of the course on numerical methods. It was felt that such a course should cover those...

Fundamentals of Electrodynamics is primarily a textbook for graduate students in physics. It is also a valuable at the senior level and as a profession reference book. It will be especially welcome to graduate students planning to do their doctoral research in quantum field theory or elementary particle physics. Fundamentals of Electrodynamics is a textbook for a one or two semester graduate or senior level course in electrodynamics or electromagnetic theory. It seeks to unify classical electrodynamics by using hamilton's principles and the symmetry properties of space and time as basic...
