Product Description
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.

 Highly recommended January 7, 2009
It seemed a high price for a small paper back, but I've found it to be very much worth the cost. Whether you're a student new to the subject or a professional looking for a quick review, this is an excellent text. Short, too the point and clearly written, it is exactly as advertised.
The only way to learn this subject is to solve problems with some good feedback. In spite of this, it is rare to find a book that offers a good number of solved problems. Part of what makes this book a good deal and an excellent source is the accompanying web site that posts solutions to the problems, complete with hints. It is easy to try the problems and check for hints or complete solutions. The problems are well chosen for completing your knowledge and the solutions are clearly written.
 Buyer beware, Softcover book missing first 38 pages!!! December 24, 2008

This book was supposed to be a Christmas gift... I received it on time yesterday, but the book, new and never used, was missing the first 38 pages!!! I was hoping at least Amazon checked to see if the printing was OK before they ship it! At least open the cover and see if page 1 is there...
Since the Softcover book binding is perfect, I suspect all the books in this batch are printed with missing first 38 pages, therefore I asked for refund.
I never had a quality control problem with Amazon until this one but buyer beware...
A fantastic book - a MUST get for anyone starting E&M. December 14, 2008
Forget the textbook. Forget the lecture notes.
Read this book. As an EE undergraduate, I have had my fair share of teachers who struggle to teach the complex material in a coherent fashion. One of the courses that is the most difficult is that of electromagnetics, and that of Maxwell's Equations. Fliesch does an EXCELLENT job of explaining the core concepts, equation by equation. If you don't understand one aspect, it is all there for you to see and comprehend. Solutions and hints to all problems are online, along with comprehensive podcasts as well.
This boo single-handedly saved me in my E&M course.
Definitely a must get.
Best book on Maxwell and Vector calculas, Piriod! November 29, 2008
Most books of this type assume That you are already at least a novice in the subject and, ergo, skip any and all of the fundimental concepts. This book goes back to the very basic concepts. I would have to say that it is almost perfect! Some terms are still needed. If you need A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equationsmore info on Vector analysis, vector calculas, or Maxwell; this is your book!

This book allowed me to get some really valuable visual conceptualizations of electro-magnetism. After having purchased many books on electromagnetism and Maxwell's Equations, I find for my entry level this book is the best of the lot. It is clear, simple and helpful. I value this so highly that of the many hundreds of books of all kinds that I have purchased from Amazon (including many very good books) this is the first time I have written a review. Yes, five stars for sure!!! My personal thanks go to author Daniel Fleisch.
