Feynman’s exposition emphasizes conceptual clarity: he uses geometric/visual arguments and thought experiments to develop intuition before formal derivations, making the volume valuable both as undergraduate course material and as a reference for conceptual understanding. The book is organised to introduce the mathematics required (vector calculus, integral theorems) and then apply those tools to physical problems: from the laws of electrostatics through Maxwell’s equations to wave propagation and the behaviour of materials in fields. Problems and worked examples accompany the text; instructors and self-learners commonly pair the lectures with problem sets for deeper practice. Narosa’s Indian reprints have been widely circulated in South Asian academic libraries (the same ISBN is used in multiple Narosa reprint runs spanning different years). If you need an exact publisher statement / plate data for a particular physical copy, I can fetch a specific holding record (WorldCat or identified OPAC) and produce a MARCXML or machine-readable MARC for that holding ER -
