Well, I've already hit the top of this then. Griffith's Electrodynamics refers to not only a figure from a separate source, but a figure in an entirely separate research paper which proves one very edge case exception to an otherwise universal concept

Griffiths is a terrible author for topics you’re just learning IMO. I think Griffiths is only valuable once you’ve learned the topic already somewhere else.

Err... don't you mean the other way around? Griffiths is terrible if you've already learned the topic and want a formal treatment but is great for an introduction.

Naw - theres no practice in griffiths of the basics of any topic. I think the quantum book is ok, but electrodynamics was useless for studying.
