Designed for upper division electromagnetism courses or as a reference for electrical engineers and scientists, this book introduces Maxwell s equations and electromagnetic waves as soon as possible (i.e., in the first third of the book), and then discusses electrostatics, magnetostatics, induction, etc., in the light of those equations. The book also provides a thorough treatment of vector field theory which emphasizes the rotational invariance of the dot and cross products, together with div, grad, and curl, and thus gives a clear physical motivation for the use of those constructs to describe electric and magnetic fields. Unlike many competing books, Maxwell s Equations & the Principles of Electromagnetism covers topics such as advanced potentials, retarded fields, forces on dielectric liquids, antenna theory, and Faraday rotation. *BRIEF TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. Introduction. 2. Vectors and Vector Fields. 3. Time-Independent Maxwell s Equations. 4. Time-Dependent Maxwell s Equations. 5. Electrostatic Calculations. 6. Dielectric and Magnetic Media. 7. Magnetic Induction.8.Electromagnetic Energy and Momentum. 9. Electromagnetic Radiation. 10. Relativity and Electromagnetism. Appendixes. Index.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maxwell's Equations and the Principles of Electromagnetism (Physics) (Physics (Infinity Science Press)) (Hardcover)
College-level and advanced electromagnetism courses and electrical engineers alike will find Maxwell's Equations and the Principles of Electromagnetism an excellent introduction to Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves. It provides a survey of vector field theory and covers everything from retarded fields to antenna theory and Faraday rotation, pairing discussions and science with plenty of examples and calculations suitable for college-level students.

This review is from: Maxwell's Equations and the Principles of Electromagnetism (Physics) (Physics (Infinity Science Press)) (Hardcover)
I bought this book to revisit- the topics after a 10 year break- I don't like technical books that use "clearly"- in the middle of a proof to avoid what should be a few lines of extra text.
I made it to page 58 - and noted along the way- over 12 instances- of "it clearly can be show"- "it is easily demonstrated" and "it is clear"- at very critical parts of proofs and examples-so I had to resort to other sources- to "clarify"-the math. I gave up on the book- after page 58 where the tex- said "we know from Gauass' theorem- etc"-for critical derivation- However Gaauss' theorem not covered until much later in the book. I found Schaum's outlines- more instructive- and useful for a recap.
