Product Description
In many schools this course has gone from a two-semester course to a one-semester course. In the fifth edition, transmission lines and other practical applications are addressed early in the text and the coverage of electrostatics is reduced to make this book suitable for a one-semester course. This text provides flexibility in that the core material is provided in the first five chapters with supplementary material that may be used as desired in the remaining chapters. This text is unique in having hundreds of real-world examples accompanied by problems of varying difficulty. Additionally, this book covers numerical techniques and contains useful computer programs and projects to afford students the opportunity to gain direct experience in the use of electromagnetic software and hardware. This text is accompanied by a website containing projects, recent developments in the field, and demonstrations of electromagnetic principles.

Wonderful introduction for anybody March 25, 1999

As a computer scientist who found himself doing EM simulation, I was in need of a good, easy to read, introductory text on Electromagnetics. After tring to read texts by numerous other authors, I settled on Kraus. It's very well writen and anyone who's interested in EM should be able to understand it (with a little fundimental calculus background). It's not too "mathy" and doesn't presupose a background in Electral Engineering: failings I've seen in other books. The style is very light while remaining technical: very much like Feynman's books. If you want to learn basic EM, this is the book to do it with. Highly recommended.
FANTASTIC engineering e&m text - best I've found June 13, 1999

This is really a terrific all-around text. Not only broad, complete coverage of the theory, but lots of interesting real-world and practical stuff sprinkled in. Once again - I STRONGLY recommend this text.
A lot of good, usuable information September 2, 1999

I found this to be informative from the beginning. The author does a very thorough job in explaining the nuances of electromagnetics.
Best E&M textbook from the EE side of the fence August 25, 2010
Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)
As a physicist, I am required to worship at the altar of Jackson Classical Electrodynamics Third Edition and rightly so. But I also work with antennas, for which Kraus has written the great masterpiece Antennas, but bridging the physics and the engineering in E&M is not trivial. Most EE E&M textbooks have an extremely weird feel to a physicist, prominent errors, odd terminology, and a disdain for physical reasoning dominate. This book is different. It brings a rigorous treatment as well as engineering terminology and interests to the party.
Excellent July 6, 1999
