5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on this topic., April 25, 2004

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics with E-Text and Appendix E on CD-ROM (Hardcover)

This is the best book I ever found on this topic. Its assumes you a beginner and takes you to the engineering level. William Hayt has an outstanding way of communication with the reader. All you require is concentration and imagination power.

Chapters are as follows;

1- VECTOR ANALYSIS
2- COULUMB'S LAW AND ELECTRIC FIELD INTENSITY
3- ELECTRIC FLUX DENSITY
4- ENERGY AND POTENIAL
5- CONDUCTORS, DIELECTRICS AND CAPACITANCE
6- EXPERIMENTAL MAPPING METHODS
7- POISSON'S AND LAPLACE'S EQUATINS
8- THE STEADY MAGNETIC FIELD
9- MAGNETIC FORCES, MATERIALS AND INDUCTANCE
10- TIME VARYING FIELDS AND MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS
11- THE UNIFORM PLANE WAVE
12- PLANE WAVES AT BOUNARIES AND IN DISPERSIVE MEDIA
13- TRANSMISSION LINES
14- WAVEGUIDES AND ANTENNA FUNDAMENTALS

The book is well structured. First five chapters are specially of interest for beginners. End of chapter problems are challenging and tune up the concepts you learned in that chapter.

I strongly recommend this book to those who are interested in fundamentals of telecommunications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Introductory textbook, September 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering. Electromagnetics) (Hardcover)

This is one of my favorite Electromagnetics books and I don't understand why somebody has not reviewed this book yet for Amazon. It is a well written informative book on one of the more difficult subjects in Electrical Engineering. Excellent book Professor Hayt!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Engineering Classic, February 11, 2000

By 

macca (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Electrical Engineering. Electromagnetics) (Hardcover)

Aimed at Engineering students from beginning to intermediate i.e years 1 to 2 and perhaps 3. The style is detailed, unpretentious and original, with relevant problems and answers provided. Would have preferred the drawings to remain B&W though.
