Electrodynamics is a basic area of physics, encompassing also classical and quantum physics, optics, relativity and field theory, and is of universal practical importance. This text aims at a balance between basic theory and practical applications, and includes introductions to specific quantum mechanical effects.

Features a pedagogical tour through mechanics from Newton to Einstein with detailed explanations and a number of worked examples. This book covers relativity, along with its relation to concepts of basic mechanics, such as inertia, escape velocity, Newton's potential, Kepler motion and curvature.

After a consideration of basic quantum mechanics, this introduction aims at a side by side treatment of fundamental applications of the Schrodinger equation on the one hand and the applications of the path integral on the other.
