Fundamentals of Engineering Electromagnetics

Utilizado para un curso universitario y fue de mucha utilidad.

No complaints. Was only 10 bucks and the book was I above average condition.

Excellent Book. It has many excercises,explained with very clearly.This book is intended for a second course in the University. For example, first course is using the resnick book and the second course is using this.

had to throw this garbage away, book in very bad shape

I was looking for this new one, but it's so hard. but this condition looks like the new one. thank you !

The subject is difficult, but the author's language makes it even worse. The book makes assumptions without telling the reader and very complex mathematical calculations are not worked out.A couple of weeks into the course, I found other textbook that were much clearer than Cheng's.

I though it was a hardcover, other than that it got home fast!

The author's language is convoluted, explanations are very brief, equations are thrown at your face with little explanation as to why or how they come into place, the worked examples are also quite convoluted and the author offers little explanation to solve them, theres little physics as to how EM actually works.This seems to be the general norm when it comes to undergraduate engineering electromagnetics books, authors somehow feel they should condense explanations and math for engineering students and just throw in a bit of transmission line theory and antenna aplications, however EM is a very difficult subject to learn and condensing explanations and math actually makes things worse and harder to understand!, one needs to understand the fundamental principles of how EM works.It is true that most engineers are not that interested in particles and such, which are covered in the traditional physics EM books, but that doesnt mean that we are only looking for a handbook of formulas and applications in an EM book!, we already have the Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers if we need to look for a quick formula, instead engineers need to learn EM at the fundamental level so they can later focus on engineering applications.There are plenty of great EM books for engineers at the graduate level, like those by Pozar, Gonzalez, Balanis, Ramo, etc... but I have not found a single good Engineering EM book that truly teaches EM theory at the undergraduate level. Its my conclusion that engineers should stick to the traditional physics EM books like the one by Griffiths to get a good understanding of EM theory, and then focus on engineering applications.Also, $200 for a paperback book???
