An intermediate-level textbook for a course of one or two semesters on electricity and magnetism for students of physics, engineering, mathematics, and other sciences who have previously completed a one-year introductory physics course with calculus. It recognizes that students now are ready for a more sophisticated treatment than were those of a generation ago. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Electromagnetism sets a new standard in physics education. Throughout the book, the theory is illustrated with real-life applications in modern technology. It also includes detailed worked examples and step-by-step explanations to help readers develop their problem-solving strategies and skills and consolidate their understanding. In addition to a meticulous development of these traditional, analytical mathematical approaches, readers are also introduced to a range of techniques required for solving problems using computers. Electromagnetism provides an ideal preparation for students who plan more advanced studies in electrodynamics as well as those moving into industry or engineering.
