Elements of Electromagnetics

Lili H. Tabrizi, California State University, Los Angeles
This is one of the best electromagnetics textbooks on the market. With its understandable language and strong approach, Elements of Electromagnetics is almost perfect.

Sudarshan Nelatury, Pennsylvania State University, Erie
Well-written and easy to follow, with an excellent balance of rigor, ease, and clarity. This text has lots of practice problems and a wonderful collection of application notes.

Sima Noghanian, University of North Dakota
Elements of Electromagnetics provides easy-to-understand explanations without losing the complexity of the material. The solved problems are detailed and a good reference for students to practice the theory behind the concepts.

Matthew Sadiku is Professor of Electrical Engineering at Prairie View A&M University and a fellow of IEEE.
