Book Description

September 1991 0070356211 978-0070356214 4th
This fourth edition of the classic electromagnetics text has been extensively revised to present balanced, thorough coverage of both static and dynamic electromagnetics for today's courses in the subject. It explains both the basic theory and its application to practical designs and contains many computer programs for running on a personal computer. Many new topics are presented including heart dipole; superconductors; wave absorption, fiber optics and dielectric resonators.

4.0 out of 5 stars The previous edition was better, December 31, 2002
By 
Vijay Krishna (Chennai, TN, India) - See all my reviews

If you are looking for an in-depth textbook on ELECTROMAGNETICS, then choose the 4th edition of this text. That book made me say, "Show me a better textbook if you can."

Not this one. This book, after giving you a brief introduction to electric and magnetic fields, goes to the applications of electromagnetics - transmission lines, waveguides etc. If these things interest you, choose this edition.

Otherwise, I recommend the 4th edition because it is simply the BIBLE of Electromagnetics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction for anybody, March 25, 1999
This review is from: Electromagnetics (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering. Electromagnetics) (Hardcover)
As a computer scientist who found himself doing EM simulation, I was in need of a good, easy to read, introductory text on Electromagnetics. After tring to read texts by numerous other authors, I settled on Kraus. It's very well writen and anyone who's interested in EM should be able to understand it (with a little fundimental calculus background). It's not too "mathy" and doesn't presupose a background in Electral Engineering: failings I've seen in other books. The style is very light while remaining technical: very much like Feynman's books. If you want to learn basic EM, this is the book to do it with. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and thourough intro to E&M!, October 15, 2001
By 
This review is from: Electromagnetics (Hardcover)
I consider this book to be one of the best books about E&M I've ever seen... it's quite technical but not cumbersome at all! Actually, I think it makes quite a pleasant reading! I've read other books on E&M and electrodynamics and I consider this book to be a very good intro to engineering electromagnetics. However, if you want a more theoretical insight, I recommend that you choose a good book on electrodynamics. This book is definitely worth buying!!
