This book is a magnificent synopsis of Maxwell's equations!!!<br><br>The 4 equations are not derived but simply stated both in words and also written out mathematically.  (The assumption is that the student knows vector calculus.)  The author then explains what each of the 4 equations is saying and analyzes each item in the equations.  After doing this in a simple and direct way, examples are given of their use.<br><br>As stated in the book there is a website that gives all the answers to the practice problems along with complete solutions showing how the answers are derived.<br><br>It doesn't seem right to "complain" about anything in this book but I wish the author had shown gradient, divergence, and curl in all three coordinate systems (cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical) on the inside cover so a person wouldn't have to page thru the book to find it.  Also, the Divergence Theorem and Stokes' Theorem.  One other thing is that I wish the author had given some practice problems at the end of Chapter 5 (the chapter relating Maxwell's equations to the Wave Equation) and the Appendix (which dealt with Maxwell's equations in matter).<br><br>I wish all physics books had an author with the heart of a teacher like Daniel Fleisch.
