Electromagnetic Theory (EKT 242/3)

This publication introduces the basic tools in Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) and illustrates how they can be applied to real problems. It is a description of the most popular computational methods used to solve problems in electromagnetics. Particular attention is given to the classical finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method, finite elements (FEM) methods, and on boundary integral formulations and solutions obtained through methods-of-moments. The book is intended for undergraduate as well as early graduate levels. The Authors' main objective in writing this book was to enable the reader to solve electromagnetic problems.

The contributions in this publication on electromagnetic fields in electrical engineering aim at joining theory and practice, thus the majority of the papers are deeply rooted in engineering problems and simultaneously present a high theoretical level.
There are three chapters in this volume, all divided into seven subchapters. Papers gathered in the first chapter are mainly devoted to physics of electromagnetic materials and mathematical approaches to electromagnetic problems. The next chapter contains papers dealing with numerical (or computer) analysis of electromagnetic devices and phenomena, whereas the last chapter reveals the world of engineering problems, showing how theoretical and methodological considerations can be transferred to real engineering problems.
