Summary: A Very Poor Textbook.
Comment: In taking an Engineering Electromagnetics course, I was very disappointed with the instruction of the course; therefore I turned to this textbook for help. Unfortunately, this book is packed with errors, both in the text, and more commonly the end of chapter problems. For such a theoretical subject, the explanation is lacking, and example problems are few and far between. In addition, there are no answers in the back of the book, and the answers available online or on CD-ROM are not all correct, according to my professor. Sigh. All in all, these factors combined to make this a very difficult course, the worst that I have had in my 3.5 years of engineering education.
Rating: 1
Summary: This is by far the worst text book I have ever used.
Comment: As an introductory level textbook, this is terrible. There are barely any examples and the problems are badly worded. Be warned: There is an addendum that goes with the book, because there are a significant number of mistakes.
Rating: 1
Summary: A disgraceful book trying to explain a beautiful subject.
Comment: My engineering professors amaze me. The get the most ridiculous books ever created for a course, then they expect the students to solve the end of chapter problems that they cannot even solve themselves. My teacher spent forty mintues on the board trying to solve a end of chapter problem in this book. The bad part was that he had to keep refering to his solution manual to see how the problem was solved. The guy has a BS and MS degree in physics and a PHD in EE.
It's a bit of na shock if someone with a physics degree cannot solve problems in a text designed for an undergraduate course.
Bottomline: SOlving the problems in this book are impossible. My whole class complains left and right about the end of chapter problems. All the teacher can say is to practice more problems. Yeah that's all nice, but how the in the heck will you know if a solution is correct if you have no soultions at the end of the chapter. And to make matters worse, I don't think he can even solve those problems himself.
Other problems with this book:
-SOme of the theory is okay, but alot of it the author explains in a confusing way.
-Mistakes one after another for certain problems.
I want to learn the subject because I like physics, but I want to learn the subject. Not hate the subject because of a useless book.
I don't recommend this book.
