<p>I need to find a good electromagnetics book to read over the summer because I'll be taking the course next semester. Any recommendations?</p>
<p>A treatise on electricity and magnetism, Vol I, J C Maxwell
A treatise on electricity and magnetism, Vol II, J C Maxwell

<p>Assuming you are relatively new to the field, I would recommend “Applied Electromagnetics” by Shen and Kong. I would avoid most of the books in the above post, as they are neither general nor well suited to beginners.</p>
<p>…probably something that I should have done</p>

<p>Try Griffin’s Intro to Electrodynamics. I scanned through the book and found it to be very readable. Reading it feels like having a dialogue with the author rather than being lectured at. The text style is very informal, making it a very good book for undergraduate students.</p>
<p>Also, the reviews on amazon are generally positive.</p>
<p>Griffin’s book is not a bad choice.</p>
<p>Griffith’s sucks.</p>
