Spacetime algebra as a powerful tool for electromagnetism
by Justin Dressel, Konstantin Y. Bliokh, Franco Nori
Publisher: arXiv 2014
Number of pages: 118
Description:
We present a comprehensive introduction to spacetime algebra that emphasizes its practicality and power as a tool for the study of electromagnetism. We carefully develop this natural (Clifford) algebra of the Minkowski spacetime geometry, with a particular focus on its intrinsic (and often overlooked) complex structure.

Classical Electrodynamics
by Robert G. Brown - Duke University Physics Department
This set of lecture notes is designed to be used to teach graduate students classical electrodynamics. In particular, it supports the second semester of a two semester course in electrodynamics that covers pretty much 'all' of the theory itself...

Introduction to Extended Electrodynamics
by Stoil Donev - arXiv
This paper summarizes the results obtained in the frame of a particular non-linearization of Classical Electrodynamics. The main purpose is to have a reliable field-theoretical approach in describing (3+1) soliton-like electromagnetic formations.
