520			_aA Modern Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics is suitable for undergraduate students that already had a first exposure to the subject and for graduate students, while more advanced parts makes it a useful resource for PhD students and researchers. The book takes a 'top-down' approach, starting from Maxwell's equations in vacuum and developing systematically and in a logically coherent manner their consequences. Much emphasis is put on the formal structure of the theory. Starting from Maxwell's equations in vacuum, the central role of gauge invariance and of Special Relativity is emphasised from the beginning. After introductory chapters where are rederived elementary results of electrostatics and magnetostatics, and the multipole expansion, Special Relativity is introduced and most of the subsequent derivations are performed using the covariant formalism and the gauge potentials, allowing for greater conceptual and technical clarity, compared to more traditional treatments.
