The book beautifully covers all the topics for an introductory Electromagnetic Theory book. Some explanations are not as thorough as it could be. Referencing to Wikipedia for further reading sounds well in the beginning, but those subjects in... read more

This book does not cover smith charts, which are frequently covered in a first semester EM course. However, they aren't absolutely necessary and they are referenced for further reading. read more

  • About the Book

    Electromagnetics Volume 1 by Steven W. Ellingson is a 238-page, peer-reviewed open educational resource intended for electrical engineering students in the third year of a bachelor of science degree program. It is intended as a primary textbook for a one-semester first course in undergraduate engineering electromagnetics. The book employs the “transmission lines first” approach in which transmission lines are introduced using a lumped-element equivalent circuit model for a differential length of transmission line, leading to one-dimensional wage equations for voltage and current.
