Review: The work of a master - Landau's approach to Classical Field Theory demonstrates his ability to be clear, concise, and elegant without drowning out the physics with math. I will say, however, that Landau requires a certain maturity to appreciate his style (same goes for Rudin's books of analysis). I would recommend this title to those with a working knowledge of classical E & M, vector/tensor analysis, and of special relativity. It is also wise to work through the author's Theoretical Mechanics to get a taste of their style. I believe, contrary to many, that this book is appropriate for self study if one is willing to do the work (not only the exercises but following along pencil in hand). I suggest reading a passage and then covering it up and then trying to do the derivations by hand. My only complaint is the quality of print, which has is not the fault of the authors. It is especially annoying at first.
Review: A masterpiece by a master - The author builds up a whole theory from almost nothing but common sense. You soon find yourself on page 150 as if you are reading Jane Austin. Landau's exposition is detailed but not boring, he gets to the fundamental facts right away. They define the electromagnetic field as derivatives of a potential. Great insight for people with background in mathematics. I always heard 'The electromagnetic field is the curvature of the connection.' but I didn't quite understand what they meant by that. Now I know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Theory of Fields by Landau and Lipchitz: a must
*by G***Y on June 16, 2014*

I have read the old version in French which was very concise and the new one is even more concise. Landau & Lipchitz do not need recommendation as I think they are the best books I know of. I recommend the book of Field Theory to those who already are knowledgeable and who would like to add a high level overview on the field theory (including Relativity).This overview goes in parallel with a deep insight on the various aspects of the theory. (I also very strongly recommend Vol1 : Classical Mechanics of the same authors)
