James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), a Scottish physicist and mathematician, produced a mathematically and scientifically definitive work which unified the subjects of electricity and magnetism and established the foundation for the study of electromagnetics. Part 1 addresses vector calculus as applied to electro-magnetics.
Regarding your section "Author's Note", I took field theory in college in the late 60's as a EE major. Though I somehow managed an A in both semester I would have to say your experience matches mine to a T. I think this is probably because the time interval over which the material is covered does not allow one to "get into the groove" as to what is really happening. In the end it's just an attempt to memorize a jumble of equations and anticipate that actual circuit design and analysis will not really require an understanding of EM theory.
