Dear Group:
I applaud the suggestion to read my mentor's book on Antennas (any
edition) to gain an understanding. The clarity of his writing is the best
that I have found. However, recently a collaborator of Professor Kraus has
written a small, inexpensive book just explaining Maxwell's compilation of
equations.

Consider the purchase and study of: "A Student's Guide to Maxwell's
Equations" by Daniel Fleisch. ISBN is 978-0-521-70147-1 The publisher is
Cambridge University Press. Amazon has the book for about $23.

I managed to clip "stuff" and attributions.



* Yes: the late John D Kraus. He was a practical engineer as well as a
theoretician and his native language was English. He managed to put into
practice a lot of the theory that others had written about and he recorded
his work lucidly. I've already named two of Kraus's books - can you cite
something written by any of your favorites that provides clear
explanations that you understand? Answers.com doesn't explain anything
technical.





* It's even more interesting to read text books by writers such as Kraus
who have known provenance. Maxwell's equations are covered very well in
his books 'Antennas' and 'Electromagnetics' - I suggest you read them.
It appears a lot of what is published on the WWW is written by people
who haven't taken the time to learn the basic simple stuff; school
pupils and college students perhaps. You have to be very careful what
you accept as true when the internet is involved.
