Scheck's successful textbook presents a comprehensive treatment, ideally suited for a one-semester course. The first two chapters cover all essential properties of Maxwell's equations, including their symmetries and their covariance in a modern notation. The textbook describes Maxwell's equations first in their integral, directly testable form, then moves on to their local formulation.
Chapter 4 deals with important applications of Maxwell's theory. Chapter 3 is devoted to Maxwell's theory as a classical field theory and to solutions of the wave equation. It includes topical subjects such as metamaterials with negative refraction index and solutions of Helmholtz' equation in paraxial approximation relevant for the description of laser beams.Chapter 5 describes non-Abelian gauge theories from a classical, geometric point of view, in analogy to Maxwell's theory as a prototype,
