Product Description
David Cheng's Field and Wave Electromagnetics builds the electromagnetic model using an axiomatic approach in steps: first for static fields, then for magnetic fields, and finally for time-varying fields leading to Maxwell's equations. |

One of misterious books on RF by F. Stroni (NJ)  5 Stars
September 09, 2009
RF by nature is not easy to understand with out some good explanation and the fact that this book was made early 90's doesn't make it easier to understand at first peak. It does tell you most of stuff you need though.
Great book for what its worth.

A must have for learning electromagnetics. by Yungman A. Liu 5 Stars
November 27, 2008
I am a self studier. I bought at least 6 to 7 different books on the subjects including book by Ulaby, Kraus, Popovic, Schwarz, Hayt, J.D. Jackson. This is about the best book. It explain the equations relative clear, quite detail on how to derive the equation. This and Ulaby are the two main book I use. This one is still better. Ulaby is too simplified.
There are a few equations that the reasoning is a little thin, but still is the closest to "the book".

The best book on undergraduate electromagnetics! by Srikumar Sandeep (Boulder,CO) 5 Stars
November 13, 2008
There are lot of books on undergraduate electromagnetics. This would be the number one in my list.The books I have and recommend are
1) D.K Cheng
2) Hayt and Buck
3) Ulaby
4) Edminister - Schaum's outline electromagnetics.
5) Spiegel - Schaum's outline vector calculus.
6) You should use Finney and George - calculus along with these books.
The book you should avoid is one by Kraus!!.
If you want to master undergraduate electromagnetics, you should have the 6 books!. There are people who complain about (1), (2) and (3). This is because their mathematical background is not strong. So I recommend (4), (5) and (6) to be used along with (1), (2) and (3).
You simply cannot write books better than (1),(2) and (3).

lowest price for small trade off by Saurabh Singh 5 Stars
September 13, 2008
the book was in a decent condition with only one problem. The picture showed hard cover and US edition but recieved a low-price edition with paper cover but the contents are the same.

Second will be better by I. Chiang (Silicon Valley, CA, USA)  4 Stars
April 28, 2007
This is the textbook for my sophomore electromagnetics in the electrical engineering. I have to admit I really hated this class then. One is that there are equations here and there and it usually clouds the issue. Another reason is that the author uses the deduction method to describe this topic. It is quite different from the traditional way which goes following the historical developments.
For some reasons, I need to refresh electromagnetics in later years. I re-studied this book and then found it written pretty well this time. It is well-organized and systematic. One weak spot is the explanation for physics. I think it should be made better so that it is easier for readers to absorb the knowledge instead of confused by those mathematical equations.
This book is rather classic, which means it stays at the balance of electromagnetic statics and dynamics. Many recent electromagnetic textbooks are more focused on electromagnetic waves at the expense of the electromagnetic statics. I don't think this is a wise decision since electromagnetic statics is still very important in the real world applications, for example RF IC design.
This book is published almost 20 years ago. But don't regard it as out of date. Based on my acamedic and industrial experience, it is still the best engineering electromagnetic textbook for undergraduates.
