Major, major problems,

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics with CD (McGraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering) (Hardcover)
I originally started with the 6th edition...but there were no answers in the back, even for the odd-numbered problems. I asked the publisher and they said it was a policy. OK, that's dumb, but whatever.
Then I went to the 5th edition and got fairly far, but eventually got to a point where I couldn't solve one of the problems and the worthless examples weren't helping. (The examples are worthless because the question and answers are given, but the work isn't shown. Uh, hello--that's the point of examples.) The book has a certain surface readability but doesn't really explain the underlying issues very well. Chapter one is a good example of this: I knew cylindrical and spherical coordinates a lot better before this book confused me. Then I got the 7th edition. I got as far as problem #17 in chapter one and found *4* errors (One simple typo in a problem, one answer somewhat off and two answers just out of the ballpark, flat out *wrong*). The original author died 20 years ago--it is time for this book to be scrapped.

Adequate,
This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics with CD (McGraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering) (Hardcover)
You can learn E&M for the first time only once. I took my first course on E&M in the Physics department. We used the book by Purcell. It was intuitive, visual, engaging almost poetry. Then I took my next semester in the Electrical Engineering department. We used Hayt. It was mundane, pedestrian, just the facts madam. And yet I learned from it. Since then I've picked up half a dozen introductory E&M texts. But I go back to Purcell for understanding and Hayt for engineering help. But I've looked at those other books and I don't think any of them would have been any better. So that earns Hayt a solid 3 stars. All these books discuss skin effect, but only Hayt discusses the effect of skin depth on inductance. For that, it gets an extra star.

Absolutely terrible.,

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics with CD (McGraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering) (Hardcover)
I'm an EE undergrad student and I have to struggle to use this book on a weekly basis. This book lacks sufficient examples, doesn't clearly derive the equations it uses, and worst of all uses TERRIBLE wording in explaining concepts, typically making them more complicated than they already are.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BOOK! "Oh well I have to, for my class." No, you don't. Get the homework problems from a friend or Google Books. Then do yourself a favor and buy the book by Ida, that book is fantastic. It explains things clearly, telling you why certain methods are preferred, and it has examples that cover different parts of each concept. Worst book ever.
