Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "There are quite a large number of works that discuss electromagnetics from a mathematical/engineering perspective. Fujimoto (Univ. of Guelph) tries to present a slightly different approach, focusing on understanding the physics of electromagnetics ! . Every chapter starts with a physical observation and continues with a general theorem/conclusion. ! Addition of higher-quality illustrations and figures would improve the visual aspects of the book, and end-of-the-chapter problems would help students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (B. Kordi, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008) "In Physics of Classical Electromagnetism, Minoru Fujimoto presents basic electromagnetism with an overview of current problems in high-frequency physics. ! The mathematical details are provided in the appendix. A list of references and index are also included. The book is intended for students of physics and engineering at undergraduate levels, and should also serve as a reference for graduate students and researchers." (Reva Garg, Optics and Photonics News, December, 2007) "'Physics of classical electromagnetism' by Minoru Fujimoto is a comprehensive and pedagogically well organized textbook for both the undergraduate and graduate students in physics and electrical engineering. It provides a modern approach in treating a broad variety of subjects in the field of classical electrodynamics ! ." (Vladimir Cadez, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1163, 2009) Read more...
