I’m considering a masters physics program after recently completing undergrad. You just rambling about your classes and books makes me feel completely underprepared for that kind of program.

Purcell's book is maybe the best electrodynamics (and maybe even the best physics) book I have read. It is light on math, but the goal of Purcell's book is to enhance understanding of electrodynamics and it does that spectacularly. What I find impressive about it are hundreds of solved examples (there is separate solution manual that goes with that book and it's basically a separate book itself). If you read Purcell and went through all those examples you will master electrodynamics at the highest level possible. I also recommend Griffith's book called Introduction to electrodynamics and maybe David Cheng books (which also come with solution manuals). There are plenty of other authors out there that go heavy on math from page 1, but these few are essential for ground level understanding of electricity and magnetism.

Exactly, Purcell's book is a real gem, clearly described physics reasoning, yes the best. Haven't seen the SI Edition.

Purcell's book was initially part of the Berkeley Physics Course, which was the introductory physics course there, so you wouldn't expect it to be at the level of Jackson.

In '92 we used Purcel, and it was still in CGS, despite the fact that everything we did in the class was in SI units (1st year engineering e&m). It was pretty horrible to have to refer to a text that used a completely different unit system!

I tend to the same philosophy as you do for your Physics. I like to use math and solve problems and use understanding and then see the physics fall out. The only way we may differ is I love classical mechanics. It seems from one of your earlier videos, you may have placed out of grad class mechanics. Classical mechanics does not appear sexy to most current physics grad students. It wasn't sexy to me when I was a grad student 40 years ago until I had a really good mechanics teacher for a year course.

I am currently doing BS Physics and will be promoted to 6th semester after the Finals (happening now.) I have a question, if someone knows then please reply me. I was wondering whether a P.hd Physics can solve all or majority of textbook exercises? Or does it depend on your practice?

My physics teacher in the 12th Grade, who was studying his Ph.D in physics, could not solve this problem: Mary is 24 years old. Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old is Ann now? But I believe that being unable to solve a math problem does not make you any less of a mathematician, and being unable to solve one physics question does not make you any less of a physicist.

I think you have too many dover's books. All physics students have hard time with thermodynamics because of the way they are looking at it, I have found that people from chemistry and mechanical engineering have a better understanding of that subject. I have found physics majors who didn't see thermodynamics as a subject, they claim that they took courses in statistics physics which is more general than thermodynamics
