A guide for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism
and electromagnetics.Maxwell's equations are four of the most
influential equations in science. In this book, each equation is
the subject of an entire chapter, making it a wonderful resource
for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and
electromagnetics. Audio podcasts and solutions to the problems are
available at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471.
Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic
fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere Maxwell law are four of
the most influential equations in science. In this guide for
students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with
detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of
each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential
forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be
combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the
electromagnetic theory of light. This book is a wonderful resource
for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and
electromagnetics. A website hosted by the author at
www.cambridge.org/9780521701471 contains interactive solutions to
every problem in the text as well as audio podcasts to walk
students through each chapter.

'Professor Fleisch is a great scientific communicator.' electronicdesign.com '... good examples and problems are given so the student can practice the skills being taught.' IEEE Microwave Magazine '... its virtue ... is to address, through judicious selection of material and masterful repetition of important facts, the needs of a student who finds lectures and textbooks hard to understand, too complex, and besides the point of doing the assigned problems. ... Students who are struggling with the material will love the Guide. The Guide is a well-written, concise, honest tool that delivers just what it promises.' American Journal of Physics
