Synopsis

A good understanding of electromagnetics is vital to anyone working with electrical currents. Electromagnetics, electrostatics and magnetostatics are the foundation for microwaves, biomedical imaging and circuit design. Understanding this foundation well is the basis for a successful career in electronics-related fields. Sadiku's Elements of Electromagnetics is designed for the introductory course in electromagnetics for electrical and computer engineering undergraduates. Taking a vectors-first approach, sadiku explains electrostatics, magnetostatics, fields and waves, as well as applications like transmission lines, wave guides and antennas. it provides a balanced presentation of time-varying fields and static fields, preparing students for employment in today's industrial and manufacturing sectors. The text is oriented to student learning. Thoroughly worked-out examples followed by practice exercises in every chapter show students how to use the theory, and how to confirm that they understand it. Numerical methods, including MATLAB programming, and a rigorous understanding of vectro analysis are included in the text so students can analyse situations they encounter in real life and industry. Essential formulas are boxed, and students are encouraged to derive other formulas rather than memorising excessively. it encorporates many helpful pedagogical features including chapter introductions and summaries, and multiple-choice review questions. It motivates student learnign with more than 100 illustrative examples and over 400 figures. This book is accompanied by an Instructor's Solutions Manual and PowerPoint slides of all the figures, for adopters only.

Review

"This is an EXCELLENT intermediate-level text, which covers basic vector calculus, electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, wave propagation in free space and in waveguides, antennas, and transmission lines. This is essential for work in the RF, microwave, and optical frequency rangse." --Walter M. Nunn, Florida Institute of Technology

"This is a very good, systematic, scientifically and mathematically correct introduction to electromagnetics."--Carolyne M. Van Vliet Florida International University
