Classical Electrodynamics is a textbook about the subject of that name written by John David Jackson. The book originated as lecture notes that Jackson prepared for teaching graduate-level electromagnetism at McGill University.[1] Intended for graduate students, and often known as Jackson for short,[2] it has been a standard reference on its subject since its first publication in 1962.[3] The book has a reputation for the difficulty of the exercises it contains, and for its tendency to treat non-obvious conclusions as self-evident.[4][5]
