“Rarely does a physics textbook change a person's life, but I have been lucky enough (or misfortunate enough, perhaps!) to have had my life changed by several of them. Griffith's Introduction to Electrodynamics challenged my mind in ways I never could have expected when I began to learn physics, but it was also the very first textbook in any topic of science or mathematics I encountered that was written elegantly and beautifully. It read like the most beautifully written novels, and yet it was about the real, physical world. From Griffiths I learned that science is never boring, that writing about physics can be as inspired as the best our poets have to offer.”
