For courses in Electromagnetics offered in Electrical Engineering departments and Applied Physics. Designed specifically for a one-semester EM course covering both statics and dynamics, the book uses a number of tools to facilitate understanding of EM concepts and to demonstrate their relevance to modern technology. "Technology Briefs" provide overviews of both fundamental and sophisticated technologies, including the basic operation of an electromagnet in magnetic recording, the invention of the laser, and how EM laws underlie the operation of many types of sensors, bar code readers,GPS,communication satellites, and X-Ray tomography, among others.A CD-ROM packed with video presentations and solved problems accompanies the text.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Adequate for short undergraduate course,
By
This review is from: Electromagnetics for Engineers (Paperback)
I used this book to instruct a 16-week junior/senior level course in Electromagnetics for Electrical Engineers. The book starts with the fundamentals of electric charge, potential, current, and Coulomb's law. The middle portion of the book is devoted to Maxwell's equations and magnetic fields. The final chapters feature antennas and wave propagation.Strong Points: Undergraduate students will benefit from the large number of solved examples throughout the text. Answers are provided for even-numbered end-of-chapter problems. The companion CD contains further exercises and problem solutions. The layout of the book and text type make for easy reading. All important formulas and equations are clearly labeled. To summarize: the book tends towards the "cookbook" variety and contains enough material for a short course without going into more depth such as J. Kraus's book on Electromagnetics.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best "back to the basics" review of EM,

This review is from: Electromagnetics for Engineers (Paperback)
I used this book for my into to EM course as an undergrad. now 3 years later I am diving into antenna and radar courses which require a basic understanding of maxwell equations and the common math tools applied (vector calc, with derivations that shift between the maxwell in phasor notation and time domain). This book provides all the fundumental background necessary for engineers to apply EM theory in practice.If you are a therotical physicist then this book may seem too light, especially on the material physics side. It is a perfect intro/reference for the engineering type though.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good but too simplified.,

This review is from: Electromagnetics for Engineers (Paperback)
This is a reasonable book. I would have given only 3 stars if not because of chapter 7 and on!!. The first 6 chapters are just to simplified to the point you miss a lot of useful informations and how the formulas are derived. I pretty much study the book by David K. Cheng which I gave it a 5 stars. It is Chapter 7 that impress me. The book explain the homogenous wave equation in very detail and clear. This chapter is even better than Cheng's book. Not quite complete because it does not have any of the inhomogeneous wave equation.All in all, still better than some other books.
