A Primer on Electromagnetic Fields

by Fabrizio Frezza

Overview

This book is a concise introduction to electromagnetics and electromagnetic fields that covers the aspects of most significance for engineering applications by means of a rigorous, analytical treatment. After an introduction to equations and basic theorems, topics of fundamental theoretical and applicative importance, including plane waves, transmission lines, waveguides and Green's functions, are discussed in a deliberately general way. Care has been taken to ensure that the text is readily accessible and self-consistent, with conservation of the intermediate steps in the analytical derivations. The book offers the reader a clear, succinct course in basic electromagnetic theory. It will also be a useful lookup tool for students and designers.

Editorial Reviews

The stated purpose of this graduate-level textbook for engineering electromagnetics is to offer a text of small size that covers most of the important topics with sufficient mathematical rigor. … a useful review text for students who are preparing for a qualifying exam and no longer need to devote as much attention to the examples and applications. … the book is directed towards engineers … .” (David H. Delphenich, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2016)
