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.

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.

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.

The book arrived on time and was in new condition. I will buy from them again. It's a lot cheaper than buying from my school's bookstore. The author of the book is actually my professor for the subject, he's a very lively man.

This book was alright. My teacher didn't care that much for the subject matter and mostly wanted to end class early. I relied heavily on the material in the book. Overall though, I thought it was pretty good. Having the solutions manual helped me understand it alittle better. I was able to purchase the solutions manual by emailing zmanual(at)gmail(dot)com. Best of luck.

A lot of vendors sell old books without mentioning the Edition. Have the correct ISBN number, or confirm ahead of time before you purchase.

This company sent me what they said they would, but it was wrong for me.

This books sucks ballz. It contains many mistakes, it has very poor explanations, few examples, and huge leaps from one step to the next in the solutions. It's totally worthless as a textbook and may be marginally useful as a reference. I purchased two other well-respected books on electromagnetism to replace this doorstop. Hopefully they'll arrive in time for my grades to turn around.

We used this book for a two quarter sequence in EM. The book is very solid and thorough in the begining with Maxwell's Equations. It is a little empty concerning static fields with only one chpater devoted to it. It is, however, a very readable texbook with most of the answers in the back

I think that the book was alright but only because the author was teaching the course. The man is insane to be sure. Some of the lost details were filled in by his lecture while others were left as an exercise. I wish that I never had seen this book or taken this course.

this book is very comprehensive. I can learn lots of material from reading the textbook. Pictures help a lot. Decent mathematics.
