Biographie de l'auteur

David Griffiths received his BA and PhD from Harvard University. He held post-doctoral positions at the University of Utah and the University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and taught at Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Trinity College (Hartford) before joining the faculty at Reed College, where he has taught for over 30 years. In 2001-2002 he was visiting Professor of Physics at the Five Colleges (UMass, Amherst, Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Hampshire), and in the spring of 2007 he taught electrodynamics at Stanford.

 

Griffiths is a Consulting Editor of The American Journal of Physics, and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. In 1997 he was awarded the Millikan Medal by the American Association of Physics Teachers. He has spent sabbaticals at SLAC, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and UC Berkeley. Although his PhD was in elementary particle theory, his recent research is in electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. He is the author of forty-five papers and three books: Introduction to Electrodynamics (Fourth Edition, Prentice Hall, 2013), Introduction to Elementary Particles (Second Edition, Wiley-VCH, 2008), and Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (Second Edition, Prentice Hall, 2005).

Revue de presse

'Griffiths's book has come to dominate the American market in junior/senior E&M/electrodynamics textbooks to an extent that I have never seen any other textbook dominate any other undergraduate market - Griffiths's love of electrodynamics shines from every page ... Not merely clear and effective - it is joyful.' Dan Styer, Oberlin College, Ohio

'... an ideal textbook for an intermediate Electrodynamics course for undergraduate students of Physics.' David Miller, University of Chicago

'... an excellent book, very well organized and readable. The students loved it ... It is a time-tested and highly optimized book.' Steve Hagen, University of Florida

'Griffiths's classic undergraduate textbook on Electromagnetism has dominated the teaching of the subject at the advanced undergraduate level.' Shyam Erramilli, Boston University

'... an excellent book about this classical topic ... written with Griffiths's customary clarity and in his very engaging style, so that, students tell me, it is a real pleasure to study from ...' Eric Laenen, University of Amsterdam
