What people on Hacker News said
Truly excellent introduction to analysis of electric and magnetic fields using vector calculus and partial differential equations.
Both books masterfully take exceptionally complex fields and break them down into easily digested chunks, with a clear progression of ideas as you go through the book.
Even the review sections on how to think about things like divergence and curl is particularly well done by Griffiths.
