Electromagnetic Boundary Problems

<p>Electromagnetic Boundary Problems introduces the formulation and solution of Maxwell’s equations describing electromagnetism. Based on a one-semester graduate-level course taught by the authors the text covers material parameters equivalence principles field and source (stream) potentials and uniqueness as well as:</p><ul> <li>Provides analytical solutions of waves in regions with planar cylindrical spherical and wedge boundaries</li> <li>Explores the formulation of integral equations and their analytical solutions in some simple cases</li> <li>Discusses approximation techniques for problems without exact analytical solutions</li> <li>Presents a general proof that no classical electromagnetic field can travel faster than the speed of light</li> <li>Features end-of-chapter problems that increase comprehension of key concepts and fuel additional research</li> </ul><p><b>Electromagnetic Boundary Problems</b> uses generalized functions consistently to treat problems that would otherwise be more difficult such as jump conditions motion of wavefronts and reflection from a moving conductor. The book offers valuable insight into how and why various formulation and solution methods do and do not work.</p>
