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.

Product Review Summary: Great introductory book This book is very simple to understand (as simple as Maxwell's Equations can get) and really hammers home the core concepts. I recommend it to any student who is taking an introductory course in EE or magnetism or related fields.
Product Review Summary: Excellent book The descriptions and explanations of Maxwell's Equations in this book are better than any others that I have seen. I would strongly recommend reading Daniel Fleisch's book before starting any electromagnetics college courses.
Product Review Summary: College Books The book arrived within a week. The service was very good, I will continue to use this site for my books.
Product Review Summary: Student Guide to Maxwell's Equations Ordered this book for a couple of reasons: first, we have a son who loves Physics and will be pursuing the study of it in university so thought this book would be a perfect b-day gift & ref book in school (it was & will be); and second, I heard the author, Daniel Fleisch on CBC Radio-2 (Stuart McLean) when he won an 'Arthur Award' and I just loved the story and wanted to be a part of it, somehow... so I bought the book (I know nothing about Physics, but Mr Fleisch was so pleasant, interesting and deserving... I thought that at least I could offer the anecdote along with the book as gifts to my son. The book arrived in good time and as described, complete with all pages. My son appreciates it so we are all satisfied customers.
Product Review Summary: Worst book I ever read This book was painfully repetitive. The spankings held my interest for a few pages, but the whole book? Perhaps the plot and character development are in the next two books. I like the idea of discovering hidden sexual layers in mathematics, but the descriptions are trite and cliched. I find it difficult to believe a book supposedly about mathematics would contain so much humiliation, punishment and borderline rape yet no insight or character growth. I threw it across the room to prevent my IQ from dropping any lower. If you like page after page of raw backsides, read this, if you want intelligent mathematics, try Anais Nin.
