Editorial Review:
Widely acclaimed both in the U.S. and abroad, this reader-friendly yet authoritative volume bridges the gap between circuits and new electromagnetics material. Ulaby begins coverage with transmission lines, leading readers from familiar concepts into more advanced topics and applications. Includes six new sections on Waveguides and Cavity Resonators, replacing the material on geometric optics in Chapter 8. Presents new Technology Briefs on relevant topics, connecting concepts in the book to everyday applications found in real life, such as liquid crystal displays, the laser, GPS, and x-ray tomography. Includes an interactive CD-ROM that allows readers to gain physical intuition about electromagnetics. A useful reference for engineers.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good for an INTRODUCTORY course
I will agree with many of the negative reviews that this book does skim over a lot of details and leaves out many important concepts. However, it is meant to be used in an introductory course - not a senior level or graduate course. I find it is a great reference for equations, and it was easy to learn from. I gained an understanding of the basics, and it prepared me for a more in-depth coverage of electromagnetic theory. For electrical engineers who do not plan to further study electromagnetics, ...

Rating:  - A note about the INTERNATIONAL EDITION
If you're thinking about getting the International edition of this text to save money, you should be aware that it is slightly different! The problems at the end of each chapter are different--they'll have a 3 where US edition has a 5, there will be an extra part to a question, etc. Just something you should know if you'll have homework problems assigned from the text! Wish I had known... :(
Rating:  - slightly cute but completely stupid
This book is a very dumbed down version of Electromagnetic theory. Unless u suffer from math or physics phobia, just take a look at David Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics." I think anyone with half a wit (student and graduate alike) can see that is a much, more useful and understandable treatment.
I believe that most truly intelligent people would rather be in a creative, bright situation where they can maybe only understand 25% of what's going on. Instead of being in one ... Read More
Rating:  - Having read more than one or two or ten emag books....
...this book is a great investment. Ulaby is kind enough to cover the math - THEN the subject, which unless you're proficient in vector calc, will be important. There are examples - they have answers! This is a wonderful place to start your journey into electromagnetics, particularly if you learn through doing. I really came to understand Maxwell's equations through this book. The only downside (if you could call it that) is the lack of theory, but don't worry - that'll come. You may not be able ...

Rating: - Excellent
This is the best electromagnetic textbook I have read or referenced. Nearly every other current and classical EM textbook is poorly written and very abstract. Ulaby has done a fantastic job in writing an easy-to-follow book on an extremely difficult subject matter. The chapter progression is much more logical, starting with transmission lines instead of electro- and magnetostatics as in other books. It is easy to find formulas and the examples and problem sets help to strongly enforce the material. This ... Read More
