surely - the two approaches converge. you need a knowledge of calculus, especially differential geometry to be able to visualize some of the concepts.
The question is mostly integral equations or differential equations?
Ulaby book is good, but I feel it is for absolute beginners, and it explains concepts very well. The coloring also keeps you awake. It is a good reference when you need more intuition.
For a more mathematical approach, i suggest Cheng.
Again these are for undergraduates. Griffiths tends to focus more on electrodynamics, and it looks at stuff from a Physics stand point. engineers on the other hand want to solve the problem without understanding it.
