The standard textbook on electricity and magnetism for junior and senior undergraduate students in physics and electrical engineering. It includes new problems (including several computational problems in Mathematica), worked examples, figures, and updated references to recent research.

The author's goal for the book is that it's clearly written, could be read by a calculus student and would motivate them to engage in the material and learn more. Moreover, to create a text in which exposition, graphics, and layout would work together to enhance all facets of a student's calculus experience. They paid special attention to certain aspects of the text:1.
