Electromagnetic Fields and Waves 3rd Edition by Paul Lorrain (PDF)

Description

Since its original publication in 1962, Lorrain and Corson’s text has offered physics and engineering students a formula for developing a working knowledge of the basic principles of electromagnetism. The formula is practice.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐In my opinion, this version is one of the finest compilations on the electromagnetic field out there today. After thirty years of reading scientific texts, trust me that at 754 pages the authors have comfortably merged formulas, representation, and description into a volume that is as useful in the physics classroom as well as the home scholars library.

⭐Is really awesome book. Good customer service.

⭐Excelente tratamiento de la teoría electromagnética clásica en un nivel intermedio. Explicaciones detalladas, ejemplos ilustrativos, buena organización del contenido tratado.Readers should start a campaign to reprint and/or get a new edition of this book. Professor Paul Lorrain is not only a recipient of the Legion of Honor of France and the equivalent of Montreal, Canada, but his book is a work of CREATIVE GENIUS. His problems contain very interesting applications of electromagnetism which both the public and specialists can identify with, including magnetic monopoles (very strange theoretical entities with only one pole instead of the usual north and south poles of magnets – see my reviews of Kursunoglu, Frolov, Klapdor-Kleingothaus, etc.) that are predicted by physics Grand Unified Theories, superconductors which have turned out to have remarkably important uses today (and the ferromagnetism which is closely related to them), the earth’s magnetic field which is related to modern geophysics, hysteresis which is related to an important modern branch of nonlinear mathematics as well, artificial satellites which are so important today, solar wind which is extremely important today, and even the theory of continuous creation of electric charge. In addition, there are many chapters on electromagnetics in relativity (see my reviews of Weinberg and Misner et al.), Maxwell’s equations, magnetic fields, electric fields, plane electromagnetic waves (see my review of A. Bohm), guided waves, radiation. Lorrain makes electromagnetism interesting, open minded on new ideas, and interdisciplinary, all characteristics of Creative Genius. The general public should also hire consultants or tutors to summarize this book or even teach it to them – it is well worth the effort because its ideas apply to fields far beyond physics. It should be mentioned that Lorrain et al give excellent summaries in the book, but the general reader might want some of them translated into closer to elementary mathematics or even approximately English.

⭐This edition is written at a higher, more abstract level than the 2nd edition, which is excellent. This is not a good book for an undergrad class. For grad classes you can’t beat Jackson. So I don’t know where this book belongs. But it is not good as a text for a class. Possibly as a handbook, but I prefer a book I have studied that I can go back to as a reference.

⭐Well, this review is pending of the fact that the text was only made better with time and further editions, but the 1970s edition is very good. It is a lucid and rigourus treatment of electromagnetics, and includes at least 140 examples, which i feel is an important learning mechanism. Some texts don’t have examples or contain a very sparse selection of them, i find this appaling. In my opinion the book is right up there with David Griffiths’ text. They make a good duo and it would behoove someone to obtain both of these great texts. Not necessarily because Electromagnetics is hard, but sometimes Griffiths leave out information that is pertinent to answer some of his question. This book provides those.

⭐This, along with Griffiths’ Introduction to Electromagnetism, is without a doubt the BEST introductory book on the subject ever written!Clear, well organized, with numerous awesome figures — easy to read, understand, and learn from.A true gem of a book!

⭐The book starts off with a very good in depth calculus and vector review. Then moves into the theoretical electric fields. Several good examples are given to help the reader understand the theory behind the derived equations. Although there are some example applications, the reader maybe hard pressed to apply this text to specific problems found industry. Such as, static charge and how it affects material process. The theory in this text, the application examples are not. Introduction to Electrodynamics (3rd Edition) is a better applied text for use in industry.

⭐This will be a good book to serve intermediate/advanced students who have a grounding in electromagnetism,Do not attempt this book if you are a complete beginner,start with a introductory text. This book covers a lot of material and begins with a thorough treatment of vectors and phasors,leading on to dielectrics,maxwells equations etc. Overall this is a great book and will pay it’s dues once you work throught it but just make sure you have done basic electromagnetism before
