Customer Reviews

Broad and moderately deep

This review applies to the first edition. It contains very broad and moderately deep coverage of the subject. This is probably around a junior-level book -- the reader should have a working knowledge of differential and integral calculus, vector calculus, etc. The introduction is interesting in that it starts with basic measurements: mass, distance, time, charge, etc. -- and quickly and concisely develops the math and physics background needed for the remainder of the book. These first 60 pages can't really prepare the uninitiated (and hence it isn't a beginner's book), but it can serve as a checklist for familiarity with prerequisite areas before delving into the main subject (for example, it may suggest that the Div, Grad, and Curl book might be handy). The same coverage of electromagnetics can be found in many books -- this one just seems a bit more thoughtful and deliberate than many. I purchased this as a used book, and in that form is a very good value.
