Product Description
Elements of Electromagnetics, Fourth Edition, uses a vectors-first approach to explain electrostatics, magnetostatics, fields, waves, and applications like transmission lines, waveguides, and antennas. It also provides a balanced presentation of time-varying and static fields, preparing students for employment in today's industrial and manufacturing sectors.
Streamlined to facilitate student understanding, this edition features worked examples in every chapter that explain how to use the theory presented in the text to solve different kinds of problems. Numerical methods, including MATLAB and vector analysis, are also included to help students analyze situations that they are likely to encounter in industry practice.
Elements of Electromagnetics, Fourth Edition, is designed for introductory undergraduate courses in electromagnetics. An Instructor's Solutions Manual (co-authored by Sudarshan Rao Nelatury of Penn State Erie, The Behrend College) and PowerPoint slides of all figures in the text are available to adopters.

 BEST E & M BOOK I HAVE READ June 29, 2008
I am retired physicist who has had the chance to read many E & M texts. I decided to take a course at the University and they use this text. To my very pleasant surprize, this book , I find is excellent. It has filled in many gaps in my understanding of the subject in a way which other texts never did. It is laid out quite nicely and has the basic idea all 'up front' and very easy to recognize, understand and remember. I feel that this book has filled in so many of the 'nuances' of E & M that I didnt understand before , so now I am able to go back to some of the more difficult texts, like Stratton, and begin to understand them at a much higher level. I am using the 4th edition, so I am not familiar with the 'errors' in the solutions, etc. I have not seen any of these in the 4th edition. I definitely recommend this textbook as the best one to use in an Introductory Course. It has truly furthered my understanding of E & M moreso then any other text.

This book is ecellent explaining the material, it gives a lot of examples and a lot of exercices with the solutions to the odd numbers which is something good. The problem that make it a 4 stars book is the presence of lots of errors, including error in the solutins of the exercises.
Excellent Textbook! January 25, 2007

After reading and owning other EM books (including Ulaby) I have to say that this is the best text I have come across. It is ordered in a logical manner; it includes most, if not all, of the classic EM example problems (something Ulaby lacks), and there are plenty of worked-out examples and exercises so that readers can know what is going on. Sadiku doesn't skip over some of the basic math steps, but leaves nearly trivial sequences in the example problems so that all can follow along. At the end of the chapter is a good study guide, and some multiple choice review questions (with answers) to really help the student grasp the concepts.
Of course, you get out of it what you put into it. All in all, it is the best EM/Fields book I have seen. It think it would even be a decent reference for lectures, if you happen to find yourself forced to teach from another book without some of the classic problems worked out. I just read nearly the whole thing (the 3rd ed. and skipped the vector analysis section), and I'm giving this from a student perspective, not a teacher perspective. I really don't think the other student reviews (negative ones) are accurate at all.
 Typos ruin this book. June 5, 2006

This can be a much better book if the editors spend some time to proof-read it. I like the way the author present the materials. The examples are good and the explanations are clear. But THERE ARE SO MANY ERRORS which I believe will confuse many students. Most errors are trivial- wrong sign, wrong font, or wrong symbols. Unless the teacher can help the students to correct the errors, I cannot recommend this book as the text book for EM theory.
 Do not buy this book January 13, 2006

This book has so many errors in it that I am confused after trying to read it! It is hard to learn from this text, and I am upset my school has chosen to use it for my class. The cover has the words "Reprinted with Corrections". I can't imagine it was worse than it is now!
