5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book for Electromagnetism Fundamentals,
This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics (Paperback)
I think this book does a better job of providing a handle on the vector nature of E&M than virtually any other textbook out there. Very often you'll see other authors reduce integrations to scalar equations without showing you the steps involved (dot or cross products), but Inan uses vectors consistently. You will be amazed at how this alone improves your grasp of the material. The rigor and completeness of the coverage are far better than any of the other engineering E&M books, and his willingness to plug in numbers to make some practical calculations is very welcome in comparison with pure physics treatments like Jackson's. The guy above says that waveguides are not covered in detail in this book, and this is true, but the second book in the series (Electromagnetic Waves) covers waveguides and reflection, refraction, transmission, etc. in great detail. The purpose of this book is to provide you with solid fundamentals in transmission lines and the application of Maxwell's equations, and it succeeds admirably.

wonderful,
This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics (Paperback)
This is a wonderful introductory book for electromagnetics. The examples and pictures are quite clear. In response to other posts, I agree that the book should be viewed as the first volume in a 2-book series by the Inans; the second volume goes into more mathematical analyses of resonating structures etc. Although the material could well describe any electromagnetic system, the author caters to examples from circuits/transmission line fields rather than, e.g. optical-frequency systems.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice style and examples, but annoying omissions...,

This review is from: Engineering Electromagnetics (Paperback)
This book is extremely well written, is set at a beginning-to-intermediate level, is attractively presented, and has historical footnotes thrown in as interesting diversions. It does a great job at illustrating fundamental ideas, such as the difference between lumped and distributed circuit analysis, where a diagram of a resistor and waves with various wavelengths are used to make the point. However, it is annoying that he does not cover oblique incidence of waves (only normal) or dielectric waveguides or antennas. He placed that in a 2nd electromagnetic waves book. This might make sense for a two year sequence in a university. However, his lack of inclusion of these topics make it hard to recommend the book as complete. It is more like volume 1 of a 2 set volume.
