An in-depth understanding of electromagnetics is important to all electrical engineers regardless of specialization. Iskander presents the phenomena associated with electromagnetic fields and waves without bogging down the reader with equations and mathematical relations, keeping emphasis on the interesting subject and exciting applications of electromagnetics. The text describes the properties of the static electric and magnetic fields in terms of their charge and current sources before introducing Maxwell's equations. Additional features include a detailed description of reflection and refraction of plane waves of oblique incidence on a dielectric surface, a detailed introduction to antennas, comprehensive treatment of transmission lines, and an introductory section on numerical techniques. Many examples are used in each chapter to demonstrate the physical interpretation of vector operations and electromagnetic field quantities.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Ok Book,
By
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves (Hardcover)
The book itself is only so-so I feel. I have taken two classes with Dr. Iskander and he uses it as a reference, and does point out where the errors are. The classes I find were/are great, he clearly knows and loves the material. The book though does not as clearly explain the principles as others I have come across.

By A Customer
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves (Textbook Binding)
We used this book in our electromagnetics class at UT Austin. I did not like this book at all. It did not clearly explain many concepts. Further there were many errors in the book, for example, in the sample problems. The result was that you were never sure if you didn't understand what was being explained or if in fact the book was just plain wrong. This is not a good book for learning electromagnetics.

good textbook,
By an electrical student (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields and Waves (Textbook Binding)
very comprehensive textbook. Students can simply understand the material by reading it with decent mathematics. Pictures are very useful. The mathematics are decent. The author can make the textbook more concise. A good textbook if u really want to understand electromagnetism.
