User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review The worked examples are very good and seem to be the anchor for different “concept nuggets.” The examples either demonstrate the use of the mathematics in a very complete manner or model a real-world problem using the principles developed in the previous material. By rereading the material and carefully going over the example, the student will not be intimidated by the one or two questions and problems at the end of the chapter referenced at the end of the section.

Research activities of Prof. Notaroš are in applied computational electromagnetics, antennas, and microwaves. His research publications so far include 22 journal papers, 58 conference papers and abstracts, and a chapter in a monograph. His main contributions are in higher order computational electromagnetic techniques based on the method of moments, finite element method, physical optics, domain decomposition method, and hybrid methods as applied to modeling and design of antennas and microwave circuits and devices for wireless technology. He has produced several Ph.D. and M.S. graduates. Prof. Notaroš’ teaching activities are in theoretical, computational, and applied electromagnetics. He is the author of the Electromagnetics Concept Inventory (EMCI), an assessment tool for electromagnetic fields and waves. He has published 3 workbooks in electromagnetics and in fundamentals of electrical engineering (basic circuits and fields). He has taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetic theory, antennas and propagation, computational electromagnetics, fundamentals of electrical engineering, electromagnetic compatibility, and signal integrity. He has been consistently extremely highly rated by his students in all courses, and most notably in undergraduate electromagnetics courses (even though undergraduates generally find these mandatory courses quite difficult and challenging). Dr. Notaroš was the recipient of the 2005 IEEE MTT-S Microwave Prize, Microwave Theory and Techniques Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (best-paper award for IEEE Transactions on MTT), 1999 IEE Marconi Premium, Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, UK (best-paper award for IEE Proceedings on Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation), 1999 URSI Young Scientist Award, International Union of Radio Science, Toronto, Canada, 2005 UMD Scholar of the Year Award, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 2004 Dean’s Recognition Award, College of Engineering, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 2009 and 2010 ECE Excellence in Teaching Awards (by nominations and votes of ECE students), Colorado State University, and 2010 George T.

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

⭐I’m an older EE, when we where taught it was through examples that used specific calculable formulas, FEA was not in abundance then. But… since then I have used COMSOL FEA software where one can enter the basic equation in raw Electromagnetics form, then derive a reduced form or enter these raw field equations right into the FEA programs. To me it is an approach I like… Have only made it through about 1/3 of the book. I got sidetracked on a Mathematica problem and their lists.However I have one complaint, while the book touts A MatLab approach to me it is all but invisible as much of that is concealed in the problems and the answers and process to the answers are not available… I guess we are to learn MatLab with E/M by….?The price is steep I bought it used…Its not Jackson but it is good..

⭐It’s really unfortunate the book was published by Pearson. One of the most frustrating things is that this book has an online component with the Matlab and additional Conceptial questions. If you happen to buy a used copy you have to pay to get access to these. They’re not interactive at all and the only reason to not put them in the book itself is greed on part of the publisher, as if charging $225 for a textbook wasn’t enough already.As far as the content of the book goes, it’s alright. The book repeatedly references itself so you’ll have to repeatedly flip through it which can be really annoying just because of how massive the book it. Some of the questions are worded in such a way that it makes it very difficult to understand exactly what the problem is asking. Other than that it’s alright. I haven’t used many other emag textbooks so I can’t really compare it to anything.

⭐This book is a completely new way of looking at the field of Electromagnetics. There is a much higher emphasis on theory and conceptual understanding on a geometric level rather than a barrage of equations (although don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of equations to be found here).While this book is very difficult, yes, and the problems are a challenge, they’re extremely well crafted and illuminating, and there are a lot of them! Dr. Notaros has spent a lot of time creating a series of problem questions, conceptual questions, and even hundreds of MATLAB questions complete with tutorials. This is definitely a labor of love, which is especially clear if you have actually had him as a teacher.My only complaints are sometimes this book is TOO much, it’s small but very very dense and you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on each page. Also it’s a little annoying when you have to flip back to a figure in the first chapter to solve a problem in the 6th chapter, there’s a lot of back reference, which can get old.Electromagnetics is not an easy field to comprehend, I can only claim to understand a fraction of it, but this book certainly does a great job of making it more engaging and intuitive, particularly with its wealth of figures and examples.

⭐This book looks at electromagnetics from a perspective that gives much more insight and understanding than other emag textbooks. Dr. Notaros uses a geometrical approach which gives the reader an understanding of what is actually happening rather than a blind application of mysterious formulas. Concepts are explained clearly, and then pertinent examples are shown that reinforce concepts and understanding. This book has tons of examples, that are rigorously explained, and original problems that make the reader think. The problems at the end of the section can at first glance seem very challenging, however there is always a example problem earlier in the text that helps shed some light on how to approach and solve the problem. The online conceptual questions that come as a part of the book are a great way to assess whether or not you understood the concepts and also help correct any misunderstandings. This book also contains short historical biographies that offer a break from the in depth reading. This book does assume the reader knows some mathematical knowledge such as vector analysis among other things, however this does not subtract from the way the concepts are presented. One other thing is that the book is very dense and there are references to past sections quite often which can make reading take a little longer, but all the references help interconnect concepts and deepen understanding. Overall I would rate this book with five stars and would recommend it to anyone trying to get a deep understanding of electromagnetics, both conceptually and its applications.

⭐This textbook does not provide nearly enough details. The examples skip several steps. Also, the book frequently refferences itself rather than re-typing eqautions or copying photos, so you constantly have to flip back and forth. Furthermore, there are no answers on the extra questions on the companion website with makes it useless for studying. 10/10 would burn again.

⭐This is an excellent and comprehensive textbook. Each chapter contains many detailed examples solved step by step, and many exercises, making this textbook perfect for a class or self-study. The companion site contains a huge list of multiple choice conceptual questions to study from, and a large set of MATLAB exercises with plenty of hints and guidance. Definitely one of the best written textbooks, both in terms of clarity and depth.

⭐I highly recommend this book. I have used it with two courses and continue to use it as a reference. I like the online additions as well. Compared to other electromagnetics textbooks, I find this one is very effective at teaching the topics.

⭐Very dense text.Full of technical language and goes into a lot of detail, but very hard to understand. The problems are often confusing and in broken language. Would only recommend as a supplemental text.

⭐Same book as inn the University of British Columbia book stare only at lower price. Well worth the savings if ordered in time for class.
