Abstract
To any student with a good knowledge of mathematics and physics, and desirous of obtaining a sound basis of the principles of electromagnetism, this book can be recommended. It is clearly written and the symbols used are sufficiently close to the international symbols to be readily interpreted. The authors have decided that magnetic induction B and magnetic intensity H are measured in the same units (the gauss). Thus the permeability is a dimensionless ratio. If all teachers in Great Britain would agree, this would simplify teaching.
