Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

In their successful text, Shen and Kong cover fundamentals of static and dynamic electromagnetism fields and waves. The authors employ a unique approach, beginning with a study of Maxwell's equations and waves and covering electromagnetic fields later. This presentation allows students to work with electromagnetic concepts using relatively simple computational analysis, building in a logical progression to more complex topics and mathematical methods for analysis. The Third Edition provides computer-based problems, homework problems, end-of-chapter summaries, and a rich collection of real-world application examples that include discussion of cellular phone and microwave exposure limits set by IEEE; safety concerns about electromagnetic fields from power lines; new and powerful magnets; and single-mode optical fibers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, April 19 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Electromagnetism (Hardcover)
This book is an absolute waste of paper. The explanations are horrible and the examples even worse. My instructor uses this book(wonder why?) and the class average is 55%. Now I am studying Smith Chart and the way those guys explain it makes me wanna burn the damned book. Do yourself a favour. Don't buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Non-traditional ordering of chapters, May 12 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Applied Electromagnetism (Hardcover)
I just completed a junior-level course which made use of this text. Although the topics are arranged differently than in similar textbooks, I found the explainations of EM concepts quite good. The main strength is getting right to Maxwell's equations in chapter two (--after all, that's what EM is all about, right?). Maxwell's equations are explained well and at an introductory level so that the reader is not overwhelmed. The main weakness is the very underdeveloped first chapter, "Complex Vectors" which is too brief and oversimplified for the subject matter at hand. The book also presents very informative and even entertaining asides on applications, such as "anti-glare headlights" (polarization), "tails of comets" (radiation pressure) and "microwave ovens" (penetration depth). Overall, a very good first EM book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Electromagnetics book, Feb 22 2006

This review is from: Applied Electromagnetism (Hardcover)
Pros: Relate EM into real life examples, which makes the book interesting to read. Simple but powerful examples and equations which made my life a lot easier.

Cons: Lack of example and pratice problems.

Overall: Very nice book to read for understanding of the materials, but you'll need to pratice problems on your own.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Book, Oct 16 2000
By "sro116" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Applied Electromagnetism (Hardcover)
I'm currently in an electromagnetics course that uses this book and this book is awful. The author cannot explain the concepts in a clear manner. The author skips parts of the explaination leaving me confused as to what he did. Also the examples in the book are not very good, an answer is given with little or no work. The book needs more examples and needs to explain the concepts much better. If you're in a course that uses this book get another book, such as Schaum's Outline of Electromagnetics. From a student point of view, this is a horrible book.
