 A fantastic book - a MUST get for anyone starting E&M. December 14, 2008

Forget the textbook. Forget the lecture notes.
Read this book. As an EE undergraduate, I have had my fair share of teachers who struggle to teach the complex material in a coherent fashion. One of the courses that is the most difficult is that of electromagnetics, and that of Maxwell's Equations. Fliesch does an EXCELLENT job of explaining the core concepts, equation by equation. If you don't understand one aspect, it is all there for you to see and comprehend. Solutions and hints to all problems are online, along with comprehensive podcasts as well.
This boo single-handedly saved me in my E&M course.
Definitely a must get.
Best book on Maxwell and Vector calculas, Piriod! November 29, 2008

Most books of this type assume That you are already at least a novice in the subject and, ergo, skip any and all of the fundimental concepts. This book goes back to the very basic concepts. I would have to say that it is almost perfect! Some terms are still needed. If you need A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equationsmore info on Vector analysis, vector calculas, or Maxwell; this is your book!

This book allowed me to get some really valuable visual conceptualizations of electro-magnetism. After having purchased many books on electromagnetism and Maxwell's Equations, I find for my entry level understanding this book is the best of the lot. It is clear, simple and helpful. Especially wonderful was how the book enlarged each equation and explained with clear and simple words and drawings what each and every symbol means or does. I value this book so highly that of the many hundreds of books of all kinds that I have purchased from Amazon (including many very good books) this is the first time I have written a review. Yes, five stars for sure!!! My personal thanks go to author Daniel Fleisch.

Fleisch's explanation of the vector operators is the most intuitive I've ever seen and his treatment of Maxwell's equations is concise, in the correct order (unlike many texts, which try to present things in historic order), and comprehensive. I especially benefitted from how he clearly distinguished between the two methods of thinking of flux. One being more physically accurate description, and the other being more mathematically useful. Every 3rd year physics student should have this book!
Excellent Resource on Maxwell's Equations November 17, 2008

I'm taking an electromagnetics course where we are applying Maxwell's equations. I found Fleisch's book to provide much clearer explanations of the concepts and application of Maxwell's equations than my course text book, and it has been a big help for me in this class. Highly recommended.
