Synopsis

Virtually every four-year electrical and computer engineering program requires a course in electromagnetic fields and waves encompassing Maxwell's equations. Understanding and appreciating the laws of Nature that govern the speed of even the smallest computer chip or largest power line is fundamental for every electrical and computer engineer. Fundamentals of Electromagnetics with MATLAB, 2nd Edition is much more than a mere textbook. The book itself offers a structural framework of principles, key equations, and problems. With that crucial supporting structure, each instructor, student or reader can turn to the supplemental files provided with this book or available online to customize and decorate each topic room. This second edition is the result of extensive user feedback and includes a 100% standalone Transmission Line chapter for flexible course placement; expanded problem sets matched to text sections and checked for clarity; and separate chapters for Electrostatics and Magnetostatics. STUDENT & INSTRUCTOR RESOURCES are available here.

About this title

Review:

"I am very impressed with both this book and its publisher. The extensive modifications made in the new edition make it a leading contender for the title of "standard for undergraduate electromagnetics," The large amount of supplementary material available for students and instructors is a big advantage, and the publisher seems to be available around the clock with an open ear for requests and an appetite for suggestions and submissions."

"I have been following the Lonngren book. The 1st edition was a good start, but had deficiencies. The 2nd edition conforms pretty much to what I think a "book" now must be, if it is to be used as a text. The authors have surrounded the book with electronic software that points squarely in the direction of the book-of-the-future. People who talk electronic books are mostly amateurs who don't understand. John Updike has an essay about all of this on the back page of a recent New York Times Review of Books. Lonngren's text is a big step along the way to the CORRECT use of electronic multimedia."
