About the Book

"Electromagnetic Waves" by Albert Shadowitz is a highly regarded and comprehensive textbook tailored for advanced undergraduate students in physics or electrical engineering. With a rich content of 768 pages, this text explores the fundamental concepts of electric and magnetic fields, electromagnetic theory, and their applications, offering a deep dive into the intricacies of these critical areas of study.

The book is structured to enhance learning through detailed explanations, worked examples, and a series of problems—ranging from 15 to 25 in each section. This approach not only reinforces the concepts covered but also provides students with the practical skills to solve complex problems. For those working through the exercises, solutions for odd-numbered problems are included, allowing for self-assessment and deeper understanding.

Covering not just classical electromagnetism, but also exploring important concepts such as relativity, the book ensures that students are well-equipped with the theoretical and applied knowledge necessary for modern studies in physics and electrical engineering. The reprint of the 1975 edition makes this work both a timeless reference and a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of electromagnetic waves.

With its clear explanations and comprehensive scope, this textbook is an essential resource for anyone wishing to master the fundamental principles of electromagnetism.
