Computational Electromagnetics with MATLAB, Fourth Edition

The book reflects the improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, finite element, and transmission-line-matrix methods. It explains how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve EM problems to prepare readers for research in electromagnetism.

Matthew N. O. Sadiku received his B.Sc. degree in 1978 from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, Tennessee, in 1982 and 1984, respectively. From 1984 to 1988, he was an assistant professor at Florida Atlantic University, where he did graduate work in computer science. From 1988 to 2000, he was at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he became a full professor. From 2000 to 2002, he was with Lucent/Avaya, Holmdel, New Jersey, as a system engineer and with Boeing Satellite Systems as a senior scientist. He is presently a professor at Prairie View A&M University, Prairie View, Texas.

He is the author of over 180 professional papers and 30 books including Elements of Electromagnetics (Oxford, 4th ed., 2007), Fundamentals of Electric Circuits (McGraw-Hill, 4th ed., 2009, with C. Alexander), Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics (CRC, 3rd ed., 2009), and Metropolitan Area Networks (CRC Press, 1995). Some of his books have been translated into Korean, Chinese (and Chinese Long Form in Taiwan), Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. He was the recipient of the 2000 McGraw-Hill/Jacob Millman Award for outstanding contributions in the field of electrical engineering.

His current research interests are in the areas of numerical modeling of electromagnetic systems and computer communication networks. He is a registered professional engineer and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has been the IEEE Region 2 Student Activities Committee Chairman. He has been an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Education.
