I liked chapter 10. That's about it. (

This book is not fun to read, but it is pretty complete. It is still the standard text for electrodynamics in graduate school. (

"Jackson E&M is about learning how to approximate reliably...the entire book, with few exceptions, is a mathematical discussion on how to solve [the same] 4 problems for different boundary conditions."
