Product Review
'De Wolf is clearly a highly experienced teacher and he has used his experience wisely in putting together a work that, I believe,. makes a real advance in understanding what can be, after all, a rather dull and difficult subject if not skilfully presented.' H. Jones, Contemporary Physics

Product Description
Essentials of Electromagnetics for Engineering introduces the key physical and engineering principles of electromagnetics. Throughout the book, David de Wolf describes the intermediate steps in mathematical derivations that many other textbooks leave out. He covers in depth the concepts of fields and potentials and then progresses to magnetostatics, Maxwell's equations, electrodynamics and wave propagation, waveguides, transmission lines, and antennas. At each stage, de Wolf stresses the physical principles underlying the mathematical results. He also includes homework exercises, a separate chapter on numerical methods in electromagnetics, and a broad range of worked examples to illustrate important concepts. Solutions manual available.

Reader Reviews
I have compared quite a few books on electromagnetics, and this one is the most detailed and most honest presentation of electromagnetics at the introductory level I have found. This books definitely tops others in terms of content and clarity. I compared it to Field and Wave Electromagnetics by Cheng, Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics by Cheng, Elements of Electromagnetics by Sadiku, Engineering Electromagnetics by Inan, and Engineering Electromagnetics by Hayt. I should note however that Engineering Electromagnetics by Inan is a very good first read for electromagnetics students.
