Reihe: IEEE/OUP Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory (formerly IEEE only), Series Editor: Donald G. Dudley.

Unique, multi-level textbook is adaptable to introductory,intermediate, and advanced levels
This revolutionary textbook takes a unique approach toelectromagnetic theory, comparing both conventional and moderntheories. It explores both the Maxwell-Poynting representation aswell as the Alternate representation, which the author demonstratesis generally simpler and more suitable for analyzing modernelectromagnetic environments. Throughout the text, students andresearchers have the opportunity to examine both of these theoriesand discover how each one can be applied to solve problems.
The text is divided into four parts:
* Part I: Basic Electromagnetic Theory includes Maxwell'sequations, quasistatics, power and energy, stress and momentum, andelectromagnetic wave theorems and principles
* Part II: Four-Dimensional Electromagnetism includesfour-dimensional vectors and tensors and energy-momentumtensors
* Part III: Electromagnetic Examples includes statics andquasistatics, accelerating charges, plane waves, transmissionlines, waveguides, antennas and diffraction, and ferrites
* Part IV: Backmatter includes a summary, appendices, andreferences
Designed to accommodate a broad range of interests andbackgrounds, the text's companion DVD enables readers toreconfigure the material as an introductory-, intermediate-, oradvanced-level text. Moreover, the text and its DVD offer a broadrange of features that make it possible for readers to quicklygrasp new concepts and apply them in practice:
* Practice problems provide the opportunity to solve real-worldproblems using electromagnetic theory
* Forty animations illustrate electric and magnetic fieldtransients
* Line drawings and computer-generated mathematical figuresclarify complex concepts and procedures.
* Maxima, a powerful symbolic mathematics program, helps readersexplore four-dimensional electromagnetic theory as well as performnumerical and graphical analyses
Adaptable to multiple levels, this text can be used for bothundergraduate and graduate coursework. It is also recommended as areference for researchers in such fields as electrical engineering,laser physics, materials science, and biomedical engineering.
