Introduction to Electrodynamics is a textbook by physicist David J. Griffiths. Generally regarded as a standard undergraduate text on the subject,[1] it began as lecture notes that have been perfected over time.[2] Its most recent edition, the fifth, was published in 2024 by Cambridge University.[3] This book uses SI units (the mks convention) exclusively. A table for converting between SI and Gaussian units is given in Appendix C.[4]
Griffiths said he was able to reduce the price of his textbook on quantum mechanics simply by changing the publisher, from Pearson to Cambridge University Press.[2] He has done the same with this one. (See the ISBN in the box to the right.)
