Average rating of 4/5 Pete B, 2008-11-01
I bought this book primarily out of interest and with a view of getting a better understanding of this difficult subject - generally surrounding the concepts and the mathematics involved. The author breaks down each of maxwell's equation, explaining each part and then giving examples to back up the theory. This is not for beginners but would help undergraduate students in Physics or Electrical/Electronic Engineering. It does a great job!

Average rating of 4/5 An Excellent Beginners Guide to Maxwell's equations, 2008-12-07
I teach physics and was interested in a way in which the Maxwell equations could be broken down so they can be understood most easily. A lot of the time students struggle with conceptualising this subject and the maths can seem a little abstract or unnecessary. The two most common texts for undergraduates on the subject are Classical Electrodynamics by John David Jackson and Classical Electromagnetism by Jerrold Franklin. Although both these books are excellent and are leading textbooks in the subject there is a requirement of high mathematical knowledge and ability to conceptualise abstract concepts. This Book plays a major part in helping you get those skills while at the same time teaching with good effect Gauss's laws, Faradays law and the Maxwell equations. Every part of every equation is broken down and explained conceptually and mathematically teaching you about areas such as closed integrals and dot and cross products. This book is an invaluable part of any physics student's armoury when attempting to understand classical electro magnetism. The only reason why I have not given this book 5 stars is because the book is quite short at 134 pages and could have gone a lot further with the excellent logical and methodical route that it takes.
