Hi, I'm looking for some additional reading material while preparing for an E&M course. I'm going through Jackson and Griffiths, and I'd like to read a few scientific papers that will be good "E&M exercises." Anybody have papers in mind? Any suggestions for an intro to plasma containment?

Hi thelonious,

(Nice jazzy name). Bo Thide has a nice, comprehensive book on advanced EM available with an accompanying book of exercises. There might be some basics on Plasma physics there too.
