John David Jackson's 'Classical Electrodynamics' (3rd ed., Wiley, ISBN 0-471-30932-X, with errata) is a rite of passage for graduate students. Those who pass enjoy forcing the same pain on the next generation. Well, here's some help in that regard. Solutions from the problems assigned during the 2001-2000, 2003-2004, 2005-2006, and first half of 2007-2008 classes at the University of Michigan, taught by different professors. For the lazy among you, zip files of each section are provided for bulk download, but as these were added in later no guarantee is made as to the equivalence of filenames between the zipfiles and the linked files.
A key signature is the pattern of sharp, flat, or natural symbols placed together on the staff at the beginning of a piece of music, representing the composer's set of instructions about the piece's key, the notes that the musician needs to use to perform the piece.

I have posted every solution that I have available, so while I do appreciate any feedback and comments about this page and its contents, please don't e-mail me asking for solutions that haven't been posted. This is all I have.
9/11/2007 UPDATE: I had no idea when I first posted this site that it'd be so popular. I've had e-mails from students around the world either thanking me for making this available or asking questions about the solutions. I want to thank everyone for making this the #1 Jackson solutions site in the world! If anyone has an equivalent solution set (i.e. from a whole semester) that they'd like to contribute, I'd be happy to add it to the collection with attribution.
10/11/2007 UPDATE: There is another student at the UM who has a Jackson solutions page up. He has solutions entirely different from the ones I have collected (from the 2004-2005 year), and his site is: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jbourj/em.htm.
12/19/2007 UPDATE: Thanks to a current Jackson student at the University of Michigan, we now have the Fall 2007 Physics 505 solutions!
04/20/2008 UPDATE: The Fall 2007 solutions now include problem assignments and the final, and we now have Winter 2008 solutions as well!
The solutions for the 2001-2002 year were by Jianming Qian, 2003-2004 by Georg Raithel, 2005-2006 and 2007-2008 by James Liu.
06/04/11 UPDATE: A Rutgers student, Philip Naudus, has donated his Jackson solutions for the 2010-2011 school year. They can also be found at his Ephysics Wiki page for discussion and erratas.
03/21/11: Now that I am no longer a student, I have to pay to maintain this page. People from around the world use this resource, and I'd love to keep it available for everyone. It has been paying for itself since March 2010, and will stay up as long as it continues to do so. If you use this site, and have a few dollars to spare, please consider donating via the paypal button below. It'll only take 30 seconds. Thanks!

I hope all of this was as useful to you as it was to me. Help the next generation by putting your own solutions online for their enlightenment. The only way to survive Jackson E&M is by standing on the shoulders of those who've gone before.
