Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I used this book for my senior level electromagnetics course. I hated it at first, but only because of how thoroughly challenging it was. By the time I had made it through the courses, I had developed a deep understanding of principles in electrostatics, magnetostatics, and basic principles of electrodynamics. I highly recommend this book as it is much more thorough than Griffiths and serves as a challenging book that will greatly reward you by the time you’ve worked through it.

⭐great book, got the hard copy even though I paid for the paper.

⭐This book is not worth $7.– As an example, go to page 75, dealing with Multipole Expansion. There is not 1 drawing on the page. There is no physical justification for the mathematics given. The derivation is incomplete and of low quality. Important pedagogical and logical steps necesssary to understand that subject are simply missing. I paid $70 for the used book that is not worth more than $7.–Griffiths, David J is worth 100 times more for self study.

⭐The authors achieved a very interesting balance between the mathematical level and the introductory nature of the book (if you don’t already master the math, you will have to learn it in order to understand the text… which is good). It has a good number of worked out examples, and the problems are challenging without being unsolvable. One characteristic of these is that they require a good comprehension of the material and therefore, you will not go on to the next chapter without learning the material (hopefully). The structure of the book is pretty much standard. Mathematically, the book is not self-contained, but that does not affect my rating because it is not intended to be. With a good foundation (or book) in vector calculus and maybe a more elementary book in E&M (Griffiths? Yeah, I agree with a previous reviewer that it might be an expensive proposition), you will be more than ready to learn E&M.

⭐Whether you are a student in engineering or physics field, you should get this book. The author is terrific in explaining things. It’s complete and to-the-point. After reading this book, not only would your understanding of E/M increase tenfold, your mathematical ability strengthens along with it too!This book is not really for 100% beginner. You must be rather well versed in vector calculus.My only complaint about this book is that only about 3 pages are devoted to discussing numerical methods, which is not sufficient from my point of view. Despite this shortcoming, THIS BOOK IS BY FAR THE BEST!!! Buy it with Griffith’s book, this is ALL you’ll ever need to learn E/M!!

⭐I love this book, and I don’t really like electromagnetism. Pollack and Stump use an easily understood writing style that is concise, thorough, and occasionally witty. Their use of extensive examples is great for the visual learner. This book covers a full academic year’s worth of advanced electricity and magnetism courses.
