Vladimir Rojansky served in the White Army during the Russian Civil War. His regiment retreated across Siberia. Rojansky continued his journey across the Pacific to America.
He was one of the first students of quantum mechanics; his thesis advisor was Nobel Prize winner, John van Vleck.
Rojansky taught for many years, and then worked on communications satellites and other projects at TRW.
This book, from Dover Publications assumes only a basic background in physics and calculus, but leads all the way up to the Maxwell equations. It is an excellent text, reflecting Rojansky's academic background and practical industry experience.
