Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental forces in nature, and underlies almost everything we experience in our daily lives, whether we realise it or not. The complete theory was first written down in the late 19th century, and remains an essential part of a scientific education. The mathematics behind the theory, however, can be intimidatingly complex. Furthermore, it is not always clear to beginners why the theory is either useful or interesting, nor how it relates to modern research in theoretical physics. The aim of this book is to guide students towards a detailed understanding of the full theory of electromagnetism, including its practical applications. Later chapters introduce more modern formulations of the theory than are found in traditional undergraduate courses, thus bridging the gap between a first course in electromagnetism, and the advanced concepts needed for further study in physics. The final chapter reviews exciting current research stating that possible theories of (quantum) gravity may be much more closely related to electromagnetism than previously thought. Throughout the book, an informal conversational style is used to demystify intimidating concepts. Relevant mathematical ideas are introduced in a self-contained manner, and exercises are provided with full solutions to aid understanding. This book is essential reading for anyone undertaking a physics degree, but will also be of interest to engineers and chemists.

Dr Chris D White is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at Queen Mary University of London. He has published over 70 papers on high energy physics, with a special focus on finding new ways to get answers out of the theory describing the quarks and gluons inside the proton ("Quantum Chromodynamics"). He has written software for describing the detailed behaviour of the heaviest known fundamental particles in nature ― the top quark and Higgs boson ― which is widely used at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. More recently, Chris has examined the relationship between particle physics theories and gravity, showing that certain correspondences between all of the fundamental forces in nature are much more general and intriguing than previously thought. His research collaborators include pure mathematicians, experimental particle physicists, and researchers working in optics and condensed matter.
Chris is a highly enthusiastic lecturer, whose previous textbooks include a graduate-level text on Collider Physics, with colleagues from the Large Hadron Collider. He is regularly invited to give international research talks, and has also frequently spoken to the general public at science festivals. He has won numerous teaching awards, which recognise his attempts to diversify physics teaching, and which include awards voted for by students themselves.
