Feynman’s proof of the Maxwell equations

It's great that you're concerned about civility on HN, and believe me I sympathize with the condition of not remembering things one has a degree in. But I'm afraid you misread aroberge—who was trying to reassure the reader that they needn't assume graduate physics—and unfortunately your reply crosses into incivility itself.

Yeah, I totally failed in reading comprehension. Sorry.

Griffiths and then Sakurai's quantum mechanics texts should contain what you're trying to recall. They're two I held onto after finishing grad school.

The Griffiths texts for E&M and Quantum were some of the best educational books I've ever read, and unfortunately both were stolen from me as an undergrad.

I didn't read it as arrogant, but a simple list of prerequisites (as viewed by the commenter).
