What is Foundations of Classical Electrodynamics : Charge, Flux, and Metric about?

The differential geometric method has been one of the most fundamental tools for theoretical physicists since its first introduction into special relativity (general relativity) by Albert Einstein in 1905 (1915). Later it has been applied to many research areas, such as fluid mechanics, elastomechanics, thermodynamics, solid state physics, optics, electromagnetism, quantum field theory, etc. As a distinctive feature of traditional classical electrodynamics, this book rests on the metric-free integral formulation of the conservation laws of electrodynamics as represented by exterior differential forms. Therefore the book will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics who work in field theory and general relativity. The book consists of five parts; a short list of references and an author and a subject index are included. Every part ends with a list of references. The authors begin in Part A, as an introductory section, with an elementary presentation of exterior differential forms. The necessary geometric concepts, needed to formulate classical electrodynamics and gravitational theory in the language of differential forms, ar
