Recommended Books

 

The most useful is Purcell.  The treatment of the course follows this closely in content and style:

 

Purcell, Edward: Electricity and Magnetism.

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math; 2 edition (August 1, 1984); ISBN: 0070049084

German edition: Elektrizität und Magnetismus Verlag, ISBN: 3528383526

 

The English version may be very expensive.  I believe a cheaper copy may be obtained from India.
