The book covers all the basic theory of FEM in electromagnetics, which is perfect for those beginners in FEM. The book also has lots of materials on the most recent developments such as hybrid techniques, method of moments and its fast solver, etc. So it is very good choice for researchers in the area of computational electromagnetics. Nicely written and easy to read. If you want to know anythhing about FEM in EM, this is the book. Go for it.

A good book for learning about Finite Element methods for electrical engineers. The emphasis is on electromagentics and the author develops FEM from first principles. Numerous examples supplement the theory and show the power and utility of FEM.

I use commercial simulation tools and have had an introductory computational EM course, but I am not a numerical EM expert. This is a well-written book with a logical and precise presentation. There are two other books on this topic that I have studied. In comparison to the book by Volakis et al, the initial development here is more formal and clear. Sadiku's book covers many more methods than the finite element method and is difficult to compare because of that reason.

Enrichs the first edition by the latest development in the finite element method in electromagnetics. Documents for the first time higher-order vector finite elements, perfectly matched layer as the absorbing boundary condition, hybrid finite-element and asymptotic methods, advanced finite-element boundary-integral method in conjunction with the fast integral solvers such as FMM, and finite element method in time domain. A state-of-the-art as well as a systematic treatment of finite element method. Though the complexity in nature, the author's writing is so good that one could have a hard time in putting it down once he opened it. None of the finite element books ever published in electromagnetics can be its parallel in depth, completeness, and reader-friendliness. If you are a beginner who wants to learn finite element method, this book is the choice. If you are an expertise who wants to know more about finite element method, so it is.
