Basic Electromagnetism and Materials is the product of many years of
teaching basic and applied electromagnetism. This textbook can be used
to teach electromagnetism to a wide range of undergraduate science
majors in physics, electrical engineering, or materials science.
However, by making lesser demands on mathematical knowledge than
competing texts, and by emphasizing electromagnetic properties of
materials and their applications, this textbook is particularly
appropriate for students of materials science. Many competing texts
focus on the study of propagation waves either in the microwave or
optical domain, whereas Basic Electromagnetism and Materials covers
the entire electromagnetic domain and the physical response of materials
to these waves.
