Foundations of Electromagnetic Theory (4th Edition)

I'm writing this review to bolster the review written by glires. I believe that glires's review is very accurate. This book assumes the reader already has a working knowledge of electromagnetism.This is not a book for self-study. If you want a self study book (or a light reference), I would recommend using David J. Griffiths book or some other book for introductory EMAG. (The book I originally learned from is no longer in print so I can't really recommend it).That being said, once you get into chapter 3, the book is excellent. This book also uses the paradigm that solving problems is how you learn the theory. So, as glires noted, much of the proofing is left for you to do in the problems at the end of each chapter.Also as glires noted, this is not a useful reference. There is no single location where all constants and formulas are listed. This revision is an update of a classic text that has been the standard electricity and magnetism text for close to 40 years. The fourth edition contains more worked examples, a new design and new problems. Plus, the new edition provides increased emphasis on electromagnetic waves and the solution of numerical problems in electromagnetism by means of a personal computer. This book contains a self-contained discussion of the solution of numerical problems in electromagnetism by means of the personal computer and the addition of sections devoted to the numerical solution of Laplace's equation, other differential equations, and electric circuit problems. Several computer routines written in BASIC language are provided. John R. Reitz, Frederick J. Milford, Robert W. Christy. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 592-593) And Index.
