Introduction

Electromagnetics for Engineering Students starts with an introduction to vector analysis and progressive chapters provide readers with information about dielectric materials, electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, as well as wave propagation in different situations. Each chapter is supported by many illustrative examples and solved problems which serve to explain the principles of the topics and enhance the knowledge of students. In addition to the coverage of classical topics in electromagnetics, the book explains advanced concepts and topics such as the application of multi-pole expansion for scalar and vector potentials, an in depth treatment for the topic of the scalar potential including the boundary-value problems in cylindrical and spherical coordinates systems, metamaterials, artificial magnetic conductors and the concept of negative refractive index.

Key features of this textbook include:

• - detailed and easy-to follow presentation of mathematical analyses and problems
• - a total of 681 problems (162 illustrative examples, 88 solved problems, and 431 end of chapter problems)
• - an appendix of mathematical formulae and functions

Electromagnetics for Engineering Students is an ideal textbook for first and second year engineering students who are learning about electromagnetism and related mathematical theorems.
