Theory And Computation Of Electromagnetic Fields, Second Edition

This book presents the fundamental concepts of electromagnetic field theory and computation in a systematic manner. The book consists of two parts. Part 1 covers the standard basic electromagnetic theory in a different manner than most texts; the contents cover both fundamental theories (such as vector analysis, Maxwell’s equations and boundary conditions, and transmission line theory) and advanced topics (such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and fields in layered media) in order to benefit students at all levels. Part 2 covers major computational methods for numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields for engineering applications. These methods include the finite difference method (and the finite difference time-domain method in particular), the finite element method, and the integral-equation-based moment method.
