Electromagnetism: Principles and Applications [Paperback]

Paul Lorrain (Author), Dale R. Corson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 1990 | ISBN-10: 0716720965 | ISBN-13: 978-0716720966 | Edition: 2nd

An abbreviated version of the more advanced "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves", the second edition of Lorrain and Corson's "Electromagnetism and Applications" is a text for applications-oriented, one-semester courses covering all the essentials of electromagnetism - from Coulomb's Law to Maxwell's Equations. Many features of the longer work appear in this version, including: problems from the current literature; worked examples and chapter summaries; and true perspective drawings. This edition benefits from a general streamlining including revised and updated chapters on induced electric fields and simplified coverage of alternating currents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pity that this book is not well known, April 7, 2000

This review is from: Electromagnetism: Principles and Applications (Paperback)

I started with minimal knowledge in vector calculus and was very much discouraged by the fact that I was unable to evaluate even a naive-looking integral (that comes with a reciprocal of some radical). This book was THE ONLY BOOK that taught me how to do that. Now, I learn very nice things about fields (such as there exists no electric field inside a hollow shell of a conducting body) and mathematically how such is possible! Overall, I must say, this book is different.
