Discover an innovative and fresh approach to teaching classical
electromagnetics at a foundational level
Introduction to Electromagnetic Waves with Maxwell's Equations
delivers an accessible and practical approach to teaching the wellknown
topics all electromagnetics instructors must include in their syllabus.
Based on the author's decades of experience teaching the subject, the
book is carefully tuned to be relevant to an audience of engineering
students who have already been exposed to the basic curricula of linear
algebra and multivariate calculus.
Forming the backbone of the book, Maxwell's equations are developed
step-by-step in consecutive chapters, while related electromagnetic
phenomena are discussed simultaneously. The author presents accompanying
mathematical tools alongside the material provided in the book to assist
students with retention and comprehension. The book contains over 100
solved problems and examples with stepwise solutions offered alongside
them. An accompanying website provides readers with additional problems
and solutions.
Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
- A thorough introduction to preliminary concepts in the field,
including scalar and vector fields, cartesian coordinate systems,
basic
- vector operations, orthogonal coordinate systems, and electrostatics,
magnetostatics, and electromagnetics
- An exploration of Gauss' Law, including integral forms, differential
forms, and boundary conditions
- A discussion of Ampere's Law, including integral and differential
forms and Stoke's Theorem
- An examination of Faraday's Law, including integral and differential
forms and the Lorentz Force Law
Perfect for third-and fourth-year undergraduate students in electrical
engineering, mechanical engineering, applied maths, physics, and
computer science, Introduction to Electromagnetic Waves with Maxwell's
Equations will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate and
postgraduate students in any STEM program with applications in
electromagnetics.
