Synopsis "Foundations of Classical Electrodynamics: Charge, Flux, and Metric (in English)"
This book presents a fresh and original exposition of the foundations of classical electrodynamics in the tradition of the so-called metric-free approach. The text provides an axiomatic treatment of the subject, along with a careful discussion of the relevant mathematics, particularly the calculus of exterior differential forms and the tools of computer algebra. However, strong emphasis is placed not only on mathematical definitions of physical notions, but also on the actual physical measurement procedures and their operational interpretation. Requiring some knowledge of elementary electrodynamics, linear algebra, and basic vector analysis, this systematic work interweaves both mathematics and physics, and will be appropriate for graduate students and researchers in physics, mathematics, and electrical engineering.
