I looking for a good book on the principles of electromagnetics that is not very math intensive. The books that I have seen are either to simple or to math intensive. Something in the 1st or 2nd year college level. Am I asking for the impossible? Kory Hamzeh PS. If you got this posting twice, sorry, we were having some net problems, so I re-mailed.

I think the second volume in the Berkeley Physics Course, published originally around 1970, is excellent for the type of presentation you seem to be after. It stressed superposition, symmetry, and other "short-cut" principles, and had nice diagrams that made the integral theorems appear "natural". I forget the author but it may have been Purcell.
