Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory of light. This book is a wonderful resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics. A website hosted by the author at www.cambridge.org/9780521701471 contains interactive solutions to every problem in the text as well as audio podcasts to walk students through each chapter.
Best book on Maxwell and Vector calculas, Piriod!
| Customer Rating: | Most books of this type assume That you are already at least a novice in the subject and, ergo, skip any and all of the fundimental concepts. This book goes back to the very basic concepts. I would have to say that it is almost perfect! Some terms are still needed. If you need A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equationsmore info on Vector analysis, vector calculas, or Maxwell; this is your book!

math idiot gets the idea
| Customer Rating: | | This book allowed me to get some really valuable visual conceptualizations of electro-magnetism. After having purchased many books on electromagnetism and Maxwell's Equations, I find for my entry level this book is the best of the lot. It is clear, simple and helpful. I value this so highly that of the many hundreds of books of all kinds that I have purchased from Amazon (including many very good books) this is the first time I have written a review. Yes, five stars for sure!!! My personal thanks go to author Daniel Fleisch. |
Even Feynman could not have made it simpler!
| Customer Rating: | | Fleisch's explanation of the vector operators is the most intuitive I've ever seen and his treatment of Maxwell's equations is concise, in the correct order (unlike many texts, which try to present things in historic order), and comprehensive. I especially benefitted from how he clearly distinguished between the two methods of thinking of flux. One being more physically accurate description, and the other being more mathematically useful. Every 3rd year physics student should have this book! |
Excellent Resource on Maxwell's Equations
| Customer Rating: | | I'm taking an electromagnetics course where we are applying Maxwell's equations. I found Fleisch's book to provide much clearer explanations of the concepts and application of Maxwell's equations than my course text book, and it has been a big help for me in this class. Highly recommended. |
Kindle Version
| Customer Rating: | I can only echo the praise that others have submitted regarding "A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations." My comments are targeted at how it looks on the Kindle Reader.
The text rendering seems crisp and readable throughout, though the imaging of the equations are sometimes too small that the subscripts are difficult to read. (Locations 126-31) The text can be scaled nicely through six choices, but the images of the equations do not.
Tables lack contrast. (Locations 179-182)
The first of many boxed question marks, [?], begin at locations 232-40 and continue. The author presents a problem at Locations 440-50 that reads somewhat like this, at the end of the first sentence, "... extends from spherical angle [?]1 to [?]2 and from [?]1 to [?]2." Obviously the Kindle reader cannot render the element and simply shows [?].
I suspect a student, not familiar with the subject, would favor the old-fashioned "physical" medium to the Kindle medium. |
