Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book is no goodIt's a condenced version of another one of Mr. Cheng's books and every example has you flipping back and forth between 5 different pages no less then 10 pages apart. The "Preface" says, "Much of the material has been adapted and reduced from my larger book, Field and Wave Electromagnetics..." Examples do not explain the work, I found these reviews while looking for a substitute book to help me through this class. Rating:  - Unique development, but lacking in a few key areasCheng's logical development of electromagnetics is indeed novel, but the only real way to appreciate it is to first have had a decently rigorous course on electromagnetism or have read another electromagnetics book. The reason why I say this is because at the onset of the book, Cheng puts forth his electromagnetic model, but there is absolutely almost no motivation for this model. It seems completely arbitrary, although it does yield familiar results. No basis for the model based on experiment ...

But, I thought it expected the student to make too many assumptions in order to do the problems. This is frustrating for a first course (or any course) in electromagnetics when you're just gettting used to using vector calculus and are new to Maxwell's equations. Another problem I had is the lack of down-to-earth descriptions. To derive a formula and add one sentence at the end does not convey what ... Read More Rating: - The most complete book of electromagnetics I've ever readBeing myself a undergraduate of electronic engineerings, I see this book as one of the most complete books that has ever got into my hands. Concise, full of examples, leaves you with thirst of going deeper into the topic. Rating:  - A Bible of ElectromagneticsWhenever wondering the great works 3 hundreds years ago, then Mr.Cheng bring me back to the old ages full of intellegence.
