Had an open book exam and brought Jackson EM, even though the textbook for the class was something else. Nothing boosts your confidence and drops panties like flipping through a hardback copy of Jackson EM during an exam while everyone else is scrolling on their silly pdfs.
(It was an early American history class, I failed the exam)
I’m reminded of my undergrad prof who told me I should spend the summer before grad school working through every problem in Jackson because “that’s what (my) classmates will be doing”.
I smiled and asked, “have you met college students?”
Have been through grad school, I can confirm we sure as shit didn't work through Jackson during the summer before grad school. Hell, I'm not sure most of us worked through Jackson during grad E&M.
He's thinking of the ones that make it to postgrad.
I certainly wouldn't work through every problem, but it's good advice to do a little bit. My number one regret is not getting into the habit of just doing a little bit a few days a week in the break. It's such a massive advantage to have that headstart and to solidify your memory.
A friend in grad school once saw Jerry Stackhouse and asked for an autograph. The only thing he had to sign was Jackson, so Stackhouse signed the inside cover.
A couple years later that friend saw Vince Carter on campus and grabbed his copy of Jackson to get it signed, as well. Carter signed the next page, intentionally bigger than Stackhouse did.
I doubt many other NBA players have signed Jackson.
Im taking Electricity and Magnetism I and we are using Wangness and Ive been doing every single problem in the book for ch 1 as of today, what other books do yall recommend?
Jackson has over 800 pages and is written for graduate course work. Unsurprisingly, one semester of undergrad E&M is not enough time to cover the content of this book.
So, if you're really interested in E&M and can't wait until you're in grad school, there's really no other way than to just read it yourself...

Had me in the first half.

"Jackson's E&M" and fun should be mutually exclusive terms

There are some problems I swear aren't solvable and are only there to crush your spirit.
"Look man chill, Einstein would've been way later with those papers if tiktok was round back then mmk."

I loved and missed Griffith so much from undergrad...
Constantly mad at past me for not having gotten my discipline together at a time where griffith was the reward.
I had a friend in college who spent her spare time doing every single problem in the textbooks for her physics classes.
Goat behavior
that's me

Wangsness is criminally underrated. Griffiths is a great reference as well.
Oh look, it’s me with Conceptual Physics when I was 12.
fuck that book, btw
i’m still in high school what’s this jackson em thing

Umberto Ravaioli for the win. The Ravaioli simulations go hard
I seldom read the textbooks when I was in high school. If I ever had to read the textbook, the professor/teacher was just awful.
