The best textbook in Electromagnetism

"Introduction to Electromagnetics Fields" by Clayton R. Paul, Keith W. Whites and Syed A. Nasar definitively is the best textbook in terms of the mathematical development of electromagnetics introducing students to Electromagnetism and providing balanced coverage of both Static and Dynamic Fields including Transmission Lines, Waveguides and Antennas. This book has been carefully written and is also well-organized. The chosen examples are designed to impart understanding of electromagnetic principles rather than calculation skills. It is excellent textbook for those who are new to the subject and It is also excellent for those who have already learned some electromagnetism. The development of a computer-aided learning tool with the use of Mathcad is a significant addition for a textbook of electromagnetism. The electronic book "Visual Electromagnetics for Mathcad" has been written to aid student's learning of introductory electromagnetism. The student will find out this an excellent tool for exploring the universal laws governing electromagnetic waves and for gaining intuition about how various parameters affect the solution to problems. In addition, the educator in physics and engineering will find a comprehensive selection of laboratory and homework exercises in Mathcad, with plenty of room for creativity and expansion. This textbook contains 431 homework problems, answers to all problems are located at the end of the text for student reference, and gives you completely worked-out examples in order to make the concepts understanable and to demonstrate practical applications of the techniques. Finally, if you want to prepare effectively for exams and improve your grades, you should combine "Introduction to Electromagnetics Fields" with "2,000 Solved Problems in Electromagnetics". These books form an awesome duet, covering all the bases, and will provide you with a good foundation for advanced studies because these two books have different strengths, for instance: intuitive development; systematic development; practical application; and interactive problem solving.

Second Edition: Solid Introduction

I consider the second edition one of the best introductory textbooks on electromagnetics. (Another favorite of mine is Nathan Ida's textbook.) It is a well-written introduction to the subject. Unfortunately, some of the newer introductory textbooks on electromagnetics have been condensed, since many electrical engineering programs only require one upper-level course in electromagnetics.

excellent intro to electromagnetics

this is a great book. it is written clearly with abundance of examples and problem sets that will help you to understand this rather gruesome topic. best thign about this book is its organization. it begins with a review of relevant topics in vector calculus then goes on to electrostatics, magnetics, electromagnetics, then various applications. topics are covered integrally so that you get a growing sense of a coherent whole as you get further into the book. its well suited for undergraduate text and for self-study alike.

Easy to understand, good, & complete,

For a biginner, this book is very good. The topic is well explained for the biginner to understand. If you read this, you can be an expert in undergraduate eletromagnetic fields. No other books are necessary. Just study it.
