Classical electrodynamics is one of the most beautiful and productive theories in physics. This book differs from the many others on the subject, approaching the theory from an axiomatic perspective and providing well over 100 solved and proposed problems.

Providing an accessible textbook, this volume illustrates the intimate connection between quantum mechanics and QED in two steps: first the quantization of free fields and then their interactions. The text contains solved problems to facilitate the application of the theory presented, as well as a useful appendix on the theory of distributions. The description of the quantization of various fields, and the clear presentation of theory and the most important interaction processes in QED make this textbook a useful guide for those studying physics at both the graduate and undergraduate level.

In the context of a revival in classical mechanics, this volume provides a general view on analytical formalism and shows how it can be applied to a number of branches of theoretical physics, such as thermodynamics, field theory and relativity theory.
