A classical text but good foundations in Math needed., May 29, 2000
Field and Wave Electromagnetics (2nd Edition)
No Synopsis Available Field And Wave Electromagnetics available on December 02 2023 from BiggerBooks for 125.76I had this book as my text book in Purdue University. Frankly speaking, most people will have no clue what it is talking after reading it for the first time because this book describes electromagnetism more from a mathematical point of view. From the start it just throws hypothesis, derivations and formulae to the reader and there are few examples, therefore readers without adequate and solid background in maths(especially in vector calculus) will be quickly confused by this book and lose the big picture. This book serves nicely as a reference but if you are not that familiar in this field, I would recommend other books. One of them is 'electromagnetics' by Kraus which is not as mathematical rigorous as this book, but more readable.

| Author: B. C. Chan "Electrical E.. | Electromagnetism is a hard subject for many people, including myself. The best approach is to get a few good books on the subject rather than rely on one book. After doing a survey, I finally bought the following books suitable for my level: (i) Introductory Electromagnetics by Popovic and Popovic; (ii) Field and Wave Electromagnetics by Cheng; (iii) Electromagnetics with Applications by Kraus; (iv) Schaums Outline of Electromagnetics by Edminister. I give five stars to all these books. (There is another book which I will not review or identify, because it turned out to be unsatisfactory.) | 11 | |

| Author: Ted Shane (usa) - See a.. | This book takes an axiomatic approach. It states mathematical postulates of EM theory and goes on to develop results. Overall, the presentation is very nice, with plenty of examples to illustrate what's going on. It covers a wealth of material, from basic electro/magneto-statics to waves, antennas, transmission lines, etc.. and can be used as a reference. The only drawback--it lacks those lively, exciting example problems you find in a general physics book. This is not a big deal, but would be nice to have. They sometimes help illustrate concepts more clearly. | 11 | |
