Engineering Electromagnetics with CD

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series

by William H. Hayt Jr., John A. Buck

Engineering Electromagnetics is a "classic" book that has been updated for electromagnetics in today's world. It is designed for introductory courses in electromagnetics or electromagnetic field theory at the junior-level, but can also be used as a professional reference. This widely respected book stresses fundamentals and problem solving and discusses the material in an understandable, readable way. Numerous illustrations and analogies are provided to the aid the reader in grasping difficult concepts. In addition, independent learning is facilitated by the presence of many examples and problems.

Genres: Textbooks, Engineering, Science, Academic, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Technical

608 pages, Hardcover

First published January 1, 1950

About the author

William (Bill) Hart Hayt, Jr. earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Purdue and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. He served on several boards and committees. He retired from Purdue in 1986 as Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering.

The electromagnetics book I used in my first undergradaute EM course. The book was horrible when compared to later books I read on the subject. It does not give a good physical understanding and a lot of the problems were too simple. Just plug in the numbers and get an answer. If you want to learn the subject matter in a more intuitive way I recommend Introduction to Electrodynamics by David Griffiths or Field and Wave Electromagnetics by David Cheng.

still dont fall in luv wif this book yet..i dont know y..2 say this book too monotonous i think it's not..it looks interesting..but still it fail 2 attrack me..maybe bcos of sum other things..i dont understand the lecture..i dont like this subject n of cos i hate 2b in that condition..i want to really get the knowledge..huhuhuu

Read this book as part of my Engineering Electromagnetics bachelors course. My cousin gave me her copy to study from. The course was quite interesting and the practicals were even better. Good for introduction to the subject.

The book is meant for children and not even the smart ones. The author runs away from any route that would lead to a rigorous justification of what he is doing. The book is filled with boring numerical examples from which you learn very little. This is a course in theoretical physics with very few applications to engineering discussed in the book and yet the author doesn't seem to understand what a course in physics should look like. To summarize, the main problem is that I didn't see any of the theoretical aspects needed for a deep understanding of the subject discussed in this book which makes it not even good enough for a bedtime story.

The beauty of Maxwell's Equations is something that is not easily understood. It is a struggle but once you do understand it, you would never stop loving it. I wish I could have helped my classmates see the beauty but it was inevitable that they found it boring, for people are oblivious and rarely pay attention to inner beauty.

Its sad we never give things time, maybe if we were more thorough we would not have missed the beautiful scenery that we lost.

this book is too complicated to understand the the theory of electromagnetics,even easy topic.i tried to study this subject myself but it doesn't work out.
