Analytical Techniques in Electromagnetics

This book presents a concise introduction to analytical methods in electromagnetics (EM). It is designed for researchers, practicing scientists, and engineers seeking analytical solutions to electromagnetic problems. It is important to keep a balanced view of techniques for solving EM problems. Overemphasizing the importance of analytical methods at the expense of numerical techniques would not reflect the trends in technology. The topics have been carefully selected to give the readers an appreciation of the kinds of problems that can be solved exactly.
