Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics

This is not only one of the best Emag text books I have used but one of the best text books, period. As an electrical engineering major, seeing this material for the first time, this textbook was perfect. Just enough theory without drowning you with endless derivations and useless background information. "Just the facts" The explanations were easy to follow and the example problems very helpful. I have noticed several negative reviews of this book. Whether or not you like this book basically comes down to what type of student you are. If you are an EE who is taking an introductory course and doesn't need endless, super in depth (i.e. confusing) explanations of every minutia of the subject, then this book is perfect. If you are a physics or math major who enjoys endlessly pondering the finer mathematical points of electromagnetism for 27 hours a day, then there are probably better textbooks out there. If you are doing your PhD dissertation in an abstract, theoretical, highly focused area of Emag, again, there are more in depth textbooks for you to use.

I am fortunate enough to have taken classes with Dr. Ulbay. He is without a doubt the finest professor anywhere. While I didn't get to take the course for this book with him, I found having his book very helpful. It does a great job explaining concepts and providing examples. Also the applets which are available online now that go with the book are fantastic and really help illustrate the concepts.

The book is very detailed and in depth with a lot of graphs, pictures, diagrams, and equations. But they also try to make it simple for you by giving you the equations you really need to know at the end of each chapter before the Problems section of each chapter. Also, the "Technology Briefs" are interesting and making the math more real to the layman.

Covers topics with great graphics and good examples.

I got this book for a semester, and as it turned out the professor wanted to use a different one, and I think that was a good choice, I think the other explained things more clearly in English before jumping into equations. I would sometimes check back to see what this book had to say, and some things helped, but for the most part this book wasn't as helpful.

I bought this book as a reference book so that I could refresh my memory on wave electromagnetics. It is a good book for that. It is very well laid out and easy to find the section that you need.

Don't buy it, it's a waste of time if you are just starting out. Awkward notation, too many pictures, not enough explanation... just don't buy it, even if it's required. I ended up going with the tried and true David K. Cheng - Field and Wave Electromagnetics. That one is excellent!

I particularly found this textbook useful. Emag isn't an easy topic. This book was more useful than the professor. The class is mostly just Maxwell's Eq'ns, and then 500 pages of special cases.

日本で出版されている教科書にも多分優れたものは多いですが、ベクトル演算のdiv, curlなどのエレメンタリーな部分はできて当たり前と思われているのかｘｙｚの直交座標系に限られています。円筒座標系球座標系はわざわざ教えるほどのことではないとしたりあとは自分で勉強しなさいなのでしょうか、ストークスなども積分形から微分形への展開にはこの法則を使いましょう・・・理系のことは多少は暗記モノとされる文化があります。それでいて、強磁性体の非線形飽和特性の取り扱いがあくまでも初期磁化特性が線形としたり、この本では勉強の始まりのときに一度ぐらい、いろいろなベクトル場でしつこく自分で求めてみたらとする基礎のところとか。アンテナや導波管、伝送線路の電磁気学による取り扱い、誘電体や電解質などのエレクトロニクスの最新の話題も関連付けられています。8000円前後は高いか安いかですが。ベクトル場の計算のＣＤが付いています。

It is a good reference with respect to the practical applicability. Several numerical examples are given which facilitate the understanding. It can be used by Under graduation courses as for Post Graduate courses.

I ordered this book through Amazon, and the seller was "luzbook". The book never arrived so Amazon refunded the whole amount that I paid for this book. I later purchased this book from another online bookseller. It is an excellent introductory book for third year undergraduate electrical engineering electromagnetics. Book is very well written and illustrated which made the book very easy to read and understand for students who are new to electromagnetics. Text is well spaced and well highlighted to make reading quite a pleasant experience.Chapter three offers excellent coverage on Vector Analysis which provides a very good resource for brushing up second year engineering calculus which is an essential tool for electromagnetics and tends to get rusty for most third year electrical engineering undergraduate students. This book is a must for all electrical engineering undergraduate students, and I invite all teaching professionals to seriously consider this book as their third year electromagnetics textbook.

Buy the real edition, the paper back sucks. I paid to return it
