Product Review
"…very well organized, and the different chapters and subchapters are described in great detail." (
CHOICE, September 2007)
Product Description
This book is an electromagnetics classic. Originally published in 1941, it has been used by many generations of students, teachers, and researchers ever since. Since it is classic electromagnetics, every chapter continues to be referenced to this day.
This classic reissue contains the entire, original edition first published in 1941. Additionally, two new forewords by Dr. Paul E. Gray (former MIT President and colleague of Dr. Stratton) and another by Dr. Donald G. Dudley, Editor of the IEEE Press Series on E/M Waves on the significance of the book's contribution to the field of Electromagnetics.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Electromagnetic Theory (Pure & Applied Physics) (Hardcover)
What it really distinguishes this book is it explains the crucial issues to understand the real physical concepts behind the electromagnetic theory. for instance, the explanation why one over the square root of the multiplication of epsilon and mu gives the velocity of wave, check any book it will say the typical statement "mathematical consequences". The coverage is superb when it comes to the field source and in the subsequent chapters relating it to the boundary conditions. For engineers, this book is not a textbook, it is a book you read to establish a substantially strong background to analyze any electromagnetic problem. For a physicist, it is essential textbook to understand EM theory. Unfortunately, it is out of print, I hope every one knows this fabulous book or want to have it to send an email to prof. Donald G. Dudley, the editor of the IEEE series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory, to reprint it again. This his email: dudley@ece.arizona.edu
